Laundry Room: Making Laundry Fun

Washer & Dryer Repair

What's your idea of a fun place to do laundry? When you think about it, laundry is something that every household will be doing on a regular basis, for as long as people wear clothes or use linens. Which is pretty much unending -- and so you may as well make laundry enjoyable because it will need to be done anyway.

A nice laundry room set up is going to look different depending on how many are in the household and who is doing the laundry. The amount of room you have available will also be a factor, but even a small closet can be a fun place to do laundry.

That small closet could be painted your favorite wild color and equipped with a stackable washer and dryer. Shelves along the side or a pullout pantry slide can hold supplies on one side and a rollout hanging unit can roll out the other to put clothes on hangars as soon as they come out of the dryer.

A larger room might have a side by side washer and dryer with a counter to fold clothes and a pull-down rack to air dry delicates. It could even be incorporated into a mudroom with a spot to take off dirty boots or cleats and dump the dungarees or sports uniform right there where you'll wash them. The best laundry room is planned for the family using it and the activities they enjoy. What is annoying you about your current laundry set up? That's the thing to think about fixing. For example, are you always losing socks? A bulletin board or short clothesline could display the singletons until their match is found.

For some families, teaching the kids to do their own laundry and making them responsible for it has been the solution to their biggest laundry peeve. Put a low wide shelf in front of a top loading machine so a child can reach the controls. Other families need wheelchair accessibility. This is your place: make it fit your needs and desires, even down to the colors you choose.

The one thing that will guarantee enjoyable laundry duty is this: maintenance. If it ain't working, it ain't fun.

·         Wipe out your washer and dryer regularly. Pay attention to gaskets and seals.

·         Clean out lint traps! Do you know where they are? They can't work if they are clogged up.

·         The dryer has a lint trap you should clean out every time you use it...but it should also be gently scrubbed clean periodically to get rid of softener build up.

·         A common cause of fire is lint in the dryer vent. Make it a regular maintenance item to clean out this hazard.

·         Read the manual! Follow suggested maintenance schedules.

·         When it breaks down (and all appliances will eventually) call a reliable company to repair it.

A clean, well-maintained washer and dryer = clean clothes, strong appliances, and fun laundry for a long, long time.

Appliance Repair - What You Need to Know!

Appliances that can cause homeowners headaches are what make the world go round. It’s part of life, but it’s no fun when one of our most integral appliances in the kitchen stop working for no apparent reason – and generally at the most inopportune times. Some will opt to replace their now-broken appliances while others will opt for appliance repair. Most homeowners want to keep the appliances that they currently have and opt to hire an appliance repair service to take care of the problem in an efficient and quick manner.

Here’s why you should consider hiring an appliance repair service when your appliances fail.

Cost-Effective - As a general rule, choosing to hire an appliance repair professional is more cost-effective than purchasing new appliances outright. After all, a few parts and a little labor is a fraction of the cost when you compare it to what you would be spending if you were to buy a brand new appliance regardless of which one it is – stove, dishwasher or refrigerator. This is especially true in today’s day and age where finances are tight and extra money is hard to come by.

All-Hours Service - Many appliance and refrigeration repair services offer round-the-clock repair services. This comes in handy when you've had a long day at work, you get home late and still need to cook dinner at 9:00 p.m. Regardless of the time, if you have a repair person on your speed dial that takes calls after business hours, you can have your appliance and refrigeration repair completed in no time after arriving at your doorstep, assessing the problem and quoting an appliance repair price.

Two Tips in Choosing a Repair Professional

Never hire a professional repair person until you have information regarding their certifications and experience, including brands they have experience repairing, length of time they have been in business providing repair services and the types of machines they have experience fixing. A trained and professional individual will have this information easily accessible to provide to his or her prospective clients and will not try to beat around the bush about it.

The same could be said regarding company referrals. You can ask the company for referrals, and they should be happy to give them to you, but you can also scour the internet for referrals and ask your friends, too. When a friend tells you that they loved the service of a certain company, you can rest assured that they are probably pretty great. Just make sure that you actually trust your friend’s opinion or you may find yourself in a sticky situation!

Whether you need appliance repair for an oven, dishwasher, washer or dryer or maybe need refrigeration repair for refrigerator, walk-in freezer or ice machine, calling a reputable, professional and trained repair person and/or company will be your best bet. Trying to fix things yourself can save money, but it can also create more problems resulting in a more expensive repair. A repair person can inform you of the problem, quote you the price and let you decide whether you want to replace the appliance or pay to have it repaired. Weigh the option so you aren't spending more out of your pocket than what is needed.
