Laundry Room Appliance Maintenance
Washing machines and dryers are making an appearance in more and more
American homes. Just like kitchen appliances, maintenance, and proper
care will be a factor in the efficiency and performance of your laundry
machines. If the hoses in your washing machine are old, consider
replacing them with the tougher metal hoses available at hardware
stores. If your washing machine rattles when it runs, it may need
leveling. For most items, lowering the water temperature to warm wash
and cold rinse will get your clothes clean and reduce your energy bills.
Clean the lint trap before you use your dryer; this will prevent a fire
hazard, save you energy, and make your clothes dry faster. Regardless
of what kind of exhaust tubing you have, clean the outside vent once a
year and make sure it opens when the dryer is on and closes properly
when the dryer is off. And remember, don't let lint and debris
accumulate under a dryer or it can become a fire hazard!
