Mira Brushed Nickel Pull Out Mixer

A good laundry tap makes filling buckets, rinsing clothes and cleaning up so much easier. Here's how to find one that works perfectly for your laundry.

1. Think about how you use your laundry

Do you fill buckets often? Wash muddy shoes or gardening gear? Rinse pets? If you need flexibility, a pull-out laundry mixer tap with a spray head makes life so much easier. If your laundry is mainly for light washing and soaking, a standard laundry mixer works beautifully.

2. Choose your tap style

• Pull-out mixer taps: The hose pulls out for extra reach – perfect for filling buckets, rinsing the sink, or washing pets. Super practical for busy laundries.
• Dual spray laundry taps: Switch between spray and stream modes with a button – great for different tasks without changing taps.
• Gooseneck laundry taps: High curved spout gives you plenty of clearance for filling big buckets or washing large items.
• Wall-mounted laundry taps: Sit on the wall above the sink – saves bench space and looks clean, but needs wall plumbing.

3. Match your tap finish to the laundry

Stainless steel laundry taps are classic, affordable and easy to clean. Matte black, brushed nickel, brass gold and gunmetal add style and hide water marks and fingerprints better. Try to match your laundry tap to your laundry sink finish for a coordinated look.

4. Check spout height and reach

Make sure your tap spout is tall enough to fill buckets comfortably and reaches into the middle of your sink without splashing. If you have a deep laundry tub, a higher spout or gooseneck design works best.

5. Think about mounting options

Most laundry mixer taps mount to the benchtop or sink, which is straightforward and suits most setups. Wall-mounted taps look sleek and keep your benchtop clear, but need the right plumbing in place, which is better for new builds or full renovations.

6. Set your budget

Basic laundry mixer taps start around $100–$200. Pull-out and dual spray taps with extra features sit between $200–$500+, depending on brand and finish. A quality laundry tap gets used every day, so it's worth investing in something reliable.
