Laundry Made Easy: Tips for Sorting and Folding

Posted on by

Laundry is one of the least favorite household chores people do, and it takes up a large amount of their time. Two of the biggest time wasters are sorting and folding. The following tips can cut down on the amount of time needed for laundry and give you extra time for more enjoyable activities.

  1. Use Multiple Laundry Baskets: Sort ahead of time by using multiple laundry baskets and putting dirty clothes into the proper basket throughout the week. Then on laundry day, your clothes are already sorted and ready to go into the washer.
  2. Sort by Color, Fabric, and Soil Level: When sorting your clothes, remember the soil level, fabric, and color are all important. You would not want to wash a muddy pair of jeans in with your delicates. Certain fabrics do not wash well together, such as polyester and cotton, because synthetic fabrics tend to attract lint and dye transfers.
  3. Pretreat Laundry: As you are loading a load into your washer, verify it was sorted correctly and look for stains. Pretreat stains with an appropriate product before you wash them. Remember to check pockets for items, pants for belts, and shirts for ties.
  4. Untwist Clothing for Wrinkle Free Drying: Most modern fabrics are designed to dry wrinkle free. However, where most people tend to run into problems is taking the big ball of wet laundry and just tossing it into the dryer. Instead, take the time to shake the clothing free as you load the dryer, and you will not have to worry about ironing, later.
  5. Fold and Hang Clothes Right Away: When clothes first come out of the dryer, there is still enough warmth in them to remove any wrinkles by smoothing them as you fold and hang your clothes. If you forget and leave the clothes in the dryer, be prepared to get out your iron and ironing board.

Ways to Save on Laundry Detergent and Supplies

Posted on by

Part of doing laundry is investing in laundry detergent, fabric softener, bleach, and other laundry aids. But are all of these products really necessary to get your clothes clean? And how can you reduce the costs to get more bang for your buck? The first thing to consider in reducing laundry costs is your type of washer and dryer. Are they high efficiency and energy efficient, like a LG washer dryer combo? If they are, this means the machines can use specially concentrated detergent, fabric softener, and bleach formulas.

The next way to lower laundry expenses is to consider your laundry needs. How dirty are your clothes? Lightly soiled clothes from normal wear do not require special detergents with heavy-duty stain removal products. If you have varying levels of soiled laundry loads, purchase a basic detergent for lightly soiled loads, and another detergent for heavily soiled loads. If you have a baby in the home, you do not have to spend more on laundry detergent for babies, unless your baby has allergies, or it is recommended by your pediatrician. Instead, you can use any brand of detergent that is dye free and fragrance free to launder you baby’s clothes.

The best way to save money on laundry detergent is to take advantage of store sales and coupons. Most stores run their detergent and laundry supplies sales based upon the coupons in the Sunday paper. Some stores even allow you to stack manufacturer coupons with store or competitor coupons, for even more savings.

Save Money by Purchasing a High-End Washer and Dryer Combo

Posted on by

Whenever you are looking for high-end energy efficient laundry solutions for your home, business, or rental properties, a washer and dryer combo is normally a more cost-effective solution because you are purchasing a single appliance. It is easy to spend around $2,000 or more for high quality stand-alone or stackable front loading, energy-efficient washers and dryers. On the other hand, you can reduce this cost by at least 25 percent or more by considering an all-in-one laundry appliance.

Where Can I Install a Combination Washer and Dryer?

You have several different options available for installing a combination washer and dryer in your home, business, or rental properties. You can install the appliance in an existing laundry room. If you do not have a laundry room, you could install the appliance in your kitchen, much like your dishwasher. You are even able to convert the appliance into a portable machine for easy connection to your kitchen sink.

Does It Cost More to Maintain and Repair a Washer and Dryer Combo?

While you might think the costs to maintain and repair a washer and dryer combo are more, you would be wrong. In fact, repair and maintenance costs are much less with all-in-one appliances, than compared to similar service calls for stand-alone washers and dryers. The reason service calls cost less is because the service technician only has to perform maintenance and/or repairs on a single appliance.

LG Washer and Dryer Solutions for Your Home

Posted on by

If you are tired of making regular trips to your local laundromat to do laundry, it is time to explore other laundry options, like finding the right LG washer and dryer for your home. LG offers people a wide range of in-home laundry solutions, whether you own your house or condo, or rent an apartment or home. LG takes the worry about needing a dryer vent out of the equation, to make it easier to choose a laundry solution for your home. All modern laundry solutions from LG include ventless drying technologies. 

LG Washer and Dryer Options

Since you do not have to worry about dryer vents, you are free to focus on what is necessary to install a LG washer in your home. All washers need to be connected to hot and cold water lines, a discharge drain, and use a standard 110 volt three-prong outlet. If your home already has these connections, your next step is to measure the laundry area to ensure what size washers and dryers will fit into the available space. Remember, you need a few inches on each side, and the back of the appliances left open for ventilation.

If your home lacks existing laundry connections, you have a few different options. You could tap into existing water, drain, and electrical lines and remodel a closet or other area as your laundry room. If you are unable to remodel the home because you are renting, you will want to consider combination washer and dryer models, since these can be converted into portable machines that connect right to your kitchen sink.

Overcoming Logistic Challenges of Installing Washer and Dryer Sets

Posted on by

The logistic challenge of installing washer and dryer sets is one of the biggest concerns for rental communities which currently do not have in-unit laundries. It is important to carefully identify any potential issues for your buildings and units to avoid problems later. Some of the more common issues rental communities experience include the size of the units, no pre-existing washer dryer connections, no dryer vents, and no in-unit laundry rooms.

Each of these issues is not difficult to resolve by selecting the most appropriate washer and dryer sets. In situations where there are no pre-existing dryer vents, installing ventless dryers overcomes this issue. For rental homes without laundry rooms, you could use a hallway closet, pantry closet, or other area in the unit to install a compact stackable washer and ventless dryer. Just keep in mind, with compact stackable laundry pairs, you will need to tap existing water, drain, and electrical lines, so they should be easily accessible.

If space is a concern, or it is not easy to convert existing closets in your units, another option is to install a compact all-in-one washer and ventless dryer. An all-in-one solution combines both washing and drying features into a single appliance. The appliance may be installed under a countertop in the kitchen where water, drain, and electrical lines are easier to access, or converted into a portable unit with wheels which is easily connected to the kitchen faucet to do laundry.

Benefits of a Washer Dryer Combo

Posted on by

There are several benefits of a washer dryer combo, compared to conventional laundry pairs. Both the washing and drying functions are combined into a single machine to eliminate the amount of space needed for individual washers and dryers. An all-in-one washer dryer can be installed in just about any location in your home, apartment, condo, or business, because it fits into small spaces.

Another benefit of a washer dryer combo is ventless drying. You do not have to worry about dryer vents or special dryer electrical cords and connections. The drying function uses advanced condensation drying to remove moisture from the clothes. The only types of connections required are access to hot and cold water lines, a discharge drain, and a 3-prong 110V common household outlet.

You can convert an all-in-one washer dryer into a portable machine if you do not have any existing washer connections in your home, condo, apartment, or business. The conversion kit attaches to the water intake hoses and discharge hose to create a single-piece connector which attaches to most kitchen faucets. You should also add a wheel kit to make it easy to roll the washer dryer up to the sink and store it out of your way whenever you are not using it.

How Reliable Are Stackable Washer and Dryer Reviews?

Posted on by

Discerning the reliability of stackable washer and dryer reviews is important in order to ensure you make the best decisions for new laundry appliances. Thanks to the Internet and major search engines, it is not difficult to find reviews online. However, making sense of the results you obtained is another story. Some sites you visit may want you to sign up, subscribe, or purchase something to see the review. Other sites can seem confusing to navigate and find relevant review information. You may also discover sites where the reviews might seem somewhat biased. However, there are numerous resources where you can find reliable information when you know where and how to look for it.

The best places to find reliable stackable washer and dryer reviews is on independent customer feedback sites, such as Angie’s List, Kudzu, Yelp, and Google Places. Each of these sites encourages consumers to leave honest opinions and comments about a wide range of products and services, including laundry appliances. You can also utilize these sites for finding reputable laundry appliance retailers in your area, as well as those that offer nationwide service and support.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is another reliable source of customer feedback for stackable washer and dryer appliance dealers. You can check out the number of complaints against a business, whether a business has any complaints, and what action they took to resolve complaints, as well as their overall BBB rating.

Just remember, no matter what site you use, you may still encounter biased feedback, when in fact there are no issues or problems with the stackable washer and dryer being reviewed. To weed these comments out, ask yourself if the review has anything to do with how the washer and dryer operates, cleans and dries clothes, and so on.

We invite you to check out our outstanding feedback and A+ BBB rating, and then contact us at 800-875-1533 to order your new stackable washer and dryer.
