Laundry is typically done at least twice per week. When the drum in a washing machine fails to spin at the end of a cycle, it may be time to replace the appliance.
Starting Your Laundry
On laundry days, the first load can be started after breakfast if aiming to complete numerous loads. Set a timer to keep the process moving efficiently.
Best Practices for Washing
An average household machine holds seven or eight pounds per load, but industrial washers accommodate more. For energy efficiency, match load size to machine capacity when possible.
- Properly sorting items by color and fabric type helps optimize cleaning.
- Check clothing labels to identify any special care requirements before washing.
- Add baking soda to help eliminate odors, and vinegar to remove residues.
- If detergent seems unable to fully dissolve, inspect the dispenser tubing for obstructions.
