Description
xHaus Maus The Original Laundry Guard is a magnetic, hinged fencing system that prevents clothes from slipping behind or between front-load washers and dryers while creating a usable folding surface on top of machines.
If you’ve ever fished a sock out from the gap behind your washer or ruined a folded pile because it slid off, this compact solution was designed for those everyday frustrations. Made in North America and invented by a U.S. mom, the Laundry Guard installs in seconds on flat-topped, metal-front front-load machines. Its modular panels use embedded rare-earth magnets and interlocking hinges so you can tailor the length and shape to suit side-by-side or stacked setups, refrigerators, tool cabinets and other flat metal surfaces.
How does the Laundry Guard stop laundry from falling behind machines?
The Laundry Guard forms a three-sided low fence across the back and along one or both sides of your machine top, creating a barrier that blocks garments from sliding into gaps. Magnets hold each panel firmly to metal surfaces while the hinged joints let you bend and lock pieces into place for a secure fit.
- Two 25.25" back panels and two 21" side arm panels create a customizable perimeter.
- Embedded N42 rare-earth magnets grip metal tops for stable, rattle-free performance.
- 8" tall panels provide a high enough stop for folded piles and small items.
- Hinges slide together quickly — no tools required for setup or removal.
Will this fit my washer and dryer arrangement?
The system works best on flat, metal-topped front-loading washers and dryers; it’s designed to be adjustable so you can use all four pieces together or remove arms to save space. Measure the distance between your machine top and any cabinet or ceiling — you’ll need at least eight inches of clearance for proper installation.
- Ideal for side-by-side front-load machines and many 2-in-1 combo units.
- Shorten the assembly to convert stacked machine tops into usable storage.
- Extra side arms are available separately to expand coverage if needed.
- Not recommended for rounded or non-metal tops where magnets won’t adhere.
How durable and portable is the Laundry Guard for moving or reconfiguring spaces?
Panels are molded from sturdy plastic with magnets embedded in the base, so they withstand daily handling and maintain a secure hold without scratching metal surfaces. Because the hinge system slides apart, the guard packs flat and moves with you — useful for renters, homeowners who reorganize frequently, or for temporary setups.
- Robust plastic construction resists cracking and flex during normal use.
- N42 magnets provide long-term magnetic strength for repeated installs.
- Quick-disconnect hinges make disassembly and storage effortless.
- Available in Fresh White or Slate Grey to coordinate with appliance colors.
What other uses can I expect beyond laundry rooms?
The Laundry Guard is versatile: any flat metal surface with side gaps can benefit from the same barrier and staging surface philosophy. Use it to turn refrigerator tops, filing cabinets, or metal tool chests into tidy staging areas that keep items from sliding off.
- Top-of-fridge organizer to keep bowls, baskets, or dry goods from sliding.
- Tool cabinet or workspace barrier to protect small parts and folded cloths.
- Filing cabinet staging surface for stacking papers and office trays safely.
- Customizable shape adapts to wider or narrower surfaces for maximum flexibility.
Who is this for? The Haus Maus Laundry Guard is aimed at busy households, small-space dwellers, renters, and organization-minded people who want a simple, tool-free way to protect laundry and create a usable folding top on metal-front laundry machines. It’s also useful for anyone who needs a temporary, magnetic barrier on refrigerators, cabinets or metal work surfaces. Woman-owned and North America-made, it’s a practical solution for everyday laundry room efficiency and cleaner, safer staging everywhere you need it.
FAQ
Q: Can the Laundry Guard attach to non-metal tops?
A: No — the panels rely on embedded magnets and require a flat metal top to hold securely.
Q: How much clearance does the guard need above the machine?
A: Each panel is 8 inches tall, so allow a minimum of eight inches between the machine top and any cabinet or ceiling.
