The laundry basket from Ambiavo is an extremely practical item for keeping dirty laundry organized. The versatile basket made of 100% cotton has a simple, attractive design and can be customized with various stickers. Its simple design makes it easy to use and it can be washed at up to 30 degrees for effortless cleaning. Thanks to its small footprint, it is ideal for smaller rooms.
The high stability of the basket was confirmed in the test, but the fact that plastic materials were used despite the otherwise good packaging was noticed negatively, which leaves something to be desired in terms of sustainability.

Product protection was guaranteed, as the product arrived intact and without scratches or soiling. Unfortunately, plastic was used in the packaging, which did not contribute to sustainability. The contents of the package were complete and included the laundry basket with two fabric bags, each with two integrated compartments. There were also instructions for use and other accessories, such as various stickers for personalization. The instructions for use were included and were clearly written in German.
