LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS
1. Washing Machine
The most essential tool in your laundry room is your washing machine. While many fancy machines are available with multiple settings, you need a machine that will fit in your laundry room and handle your family's needs. Clean your washing machine regularly to remove smelly odors; it will extend its life, and the time it can serve you and your laundry.
Some people may prefer to hang their laundry to dry, but there is no doubt that an automatic clothes dryer is a modern convenience. Keep the dryer clean; check it often to ensure no debris or crayon stains are on the interior drum. Clean the lint trap regularly.
A drying rack is a simple tool for draping and drying delicate clothing. Some fabrics or types of clothing can't dry in the dryer due to the high heat or the tumbling action. These items may be listed on the tag as "hang to dry." A drying rack is a convenient item that allows these pieces of clothing to dry safely.
If your laundry room has space, storing your iron there is a natural fit. Many like to iron their clothes directly when they come out of the dryer. It is an efficient practice since clothes will have fewer wrinkles straight from the dryer and take less time to iron. One of the significant ironing mistakes that people make is trying to iron overly dry clothes; slightly damp garments are easier to iron.
One of the best ironing board options for a laundry room is a fold-out ironing board that can be tucked away when not in use. There are also some people who prefer to lay an ironing board across a countertop in their laundry room. A good ironing board is one that has plenty of mesh or metal holes to allow air to penetrate through it, reduce your ironing time and give you better results.
A sink in the laundry room isn't a luxury most people have, but it is a wonderful one to consider when you are remodeling or building a laundry room. A sink in the laundry room allows you to treat stains, hand-wash clothes, and keep the laundry room neat and tidy.
Spotting tables are used to remove stains manually. They come with a suction system and a built-in steam gun to remove stains effectively.
Garment steamers are used to remove wrinkles and freshen up clothes. They are perfect for delicate fabrics and can be used for curtains and drapes.
Other smaller tools include plastic or aluminum buckets, pegs tongs lines, iron, ironing boards etc. and machines are used for washing clothes.
GUIDELINES IN CHOOSING LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS
You need to decide how much laundry you’ll be doing. This will help you decide how much space you’ll need for the washing machine and dryer you’re buying. If you have a large family or many people visit your home, you’ll want to make sure you have enough capacity to handle your laundry needs.
There are a number of features you may wish to look for in a washing machine or dryer. First, you’ll want to decide whether you want a top-load or front-load washing machine.
Front-load washers are typically smaller and more compact, but can often clean clothes more thoroughly than top-load washers.
If you’re looking for a dryer, you can decide between a standard or sensor-activated dryer, which will automatically end the drying process when your clothes are dry.
You should also consider how much you can afford to spend on a new washer and dryer set. While you can find high-end, top-of-the-line appliances, you can also find cheaper options that will get the job done.
Finally, you’ll want to make sure that whatever laundry equipment you buy comes with a warranty. Most washers and dryers will come with a one-year parts and labor warranty.
