Magnetic Folding Shelf for Washer Side, 16.1 x 9.8 In

The 16 inches of wall next to your washer

Most machines come with a flat top and nothing else. So the wet towel ends up on the lid, the detergent bottle ends up on the floor, and the laundry pods travel around the flat until one shows up in a sock.

This is a hinged steel shelf that holds onto the side of the machine with magnets. Pull it down and you get a 16.1 by 9.8 inch (41 by 25 cm) deck. Push it back up and it sits flat against the panel, about as thick as a paperback.

The deck is four steel slats, not a solid board. A damp towel drops through instead of sitting in its own puddle, and the shelf is dry again before the next load. Wipe it down and you are done. There is nothing to oil and no finish to reseal.

No drill, no screws, no adhesive. Nothing goes into the machine and nothing goes into your wall. If you rent, that is the whole point. When you move, it comes with you.

One size, two colors. The white one disappears against a white machine; the black one matches a dark laundry corner.

Check first: put a fridge magnet on the side of your machine. If it sticks, this shelf will hold. Plastic machine bodies and stainless panels that a magnet slides off will not.

What you get: one folding magnetic shelf in the color you pick.
