Many of the deluxe laundry carts feature an ergonomic design that facilitates loading and unloading while minimizing bending. With a convenient bottom shelf, it's easy to keep detergents and other cleaning materials organized.

Often, the covers are made of cloth with an elastic edge to fit over the top of the cart. In addition, there are hard plastic covers with a hinge that provide easy access to different parts of a multi-sectioned cart. Bumper pieces are made of foam and fit on the corners of hospitality laundry cars to prevent marks on furniture and walls while in transport.
