Do I have room for laundry pedestals and towers?
|
Laundry pedestal drawers and towers are a great alternative to storing laundry accessories in high shelves or cabinets in your laundry area. Not only do they keep all of your necessary laundry additives in one place, but they provide ergonomically correct support to your body while you do laundry. Laundry pedestal drawers can raise your washer and dryer units up to 15.5” giving your back a much needed break.
When considering if a laundry tower or pedestal drawer will work for your laundry room you need to note how much space you need for both to fully open. Laundry towers offer the most in terms of location flexibility. Put them wherever you need them within the laundry area — next to the washer and dryer, in between the washer and dryer, or on the other side of the room.
Keep in mind that laundry pedestals will only work with front-loading washers and dryers. Most pedestal drawers come in either 10" or 15." Depending on the laundry pedestal height you choose you will need to consider the space you have above the laundry pair.
Browse through Inspiration Gallery for our online selection of laundry pedestal drawers and towers then visit your local BrandSource store for more details on financing, delivery and installation.

Front-loading washers - less water, less clean?
|
|
Front-loading or high-efficiency washers provide exceptional performance overall. Unlike their counterpart the top-load washer, they do not have agitators which move laundry back and forth within the unit loosening soils. Instead, front-loading washers clean clothes and other items by tumbling which ends up being gentler on fabrics. You’ll notice that the laundry load will sit in a small amount of water versus being submerged completely in water as it would in a top-loading washer.
According to the SDA (Soap and Detergent Association) the laundry load tumbles back and forth through the water, as the tub rotates clockwise and then counterclockwise, moving water through each garment and removing soil. This repetitive motion does an efficient cleaning job on fabrics. Typically, you will be instructed to purchase special low-sudsing “HE” or high-efficiency detergent with a front-loading washer because you are using less water.
There is more to purchasing a new front-loading washer than getting your laundry clean – they can bring you some BIG savings on your energy and water bills. Check out the selection of front-loading washers and coordinating dryers at your local Brandsource store. We’re YOUR source for the best selection of trusted name brand appliances, electronics and home furnishings at the best prices.

How do you wash your washing machine?
|
Boy, what a good cleaner you are! I'm so glad you brought this up because I just was wondering this myself and did a bit of research. It turns out that all that dirty water, soap residue, and those hard water deposits really take a toll on your washing machine. With that, here are three easy steps to clean your washing machine.
1. Run a cycle of hot water along with two cups of vinegar or lemon juice to get the grime out.
2. Remove your fabric softener receptacle and clean it well with hot water and detergent.
3. Clean the bleach dispenser with a spray cleaner and paper towels.
Then run a hot water cycle once more. Also, remember to check your hoses - they need to be replaced every five years or at the first sign of wear or weakness. Keeping a clean, beautiful home extends to your laundry room as well. Clean machines, clean clothes, sparkling home.
Browse through our online selection of laundry room appliances, then call or visit your local BrandSource store for more details on delivery, installation, extended warranty coverage and financing.

What washer setting do I use for baby clothes?
|
Well, congrats on the new little one! With a new baby in the home your family's wardrobe changes. Our new washers and dryers offer features from the fastest wash and dry times to the smallest and largest capacity with stylish design and bold new colors. Make sure you have a reliable laundry system since you will be spending a lot of time bonding with it-your laundry system, that is!
Then keep in mind these few tips and remember you will be doing a LOT of loads - so, plenty of practice.
· Wash all baby's clothing, blankets, towels, etc. before exposing them to the baby. Infant skin is very sensitive.
· Pre-treat stains and then wash all garments in hot water.
· Use a baby detergent or a specially designed dye-free detergent. Again, infants can react negatively to harsh chemicals or additives.
· Use non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, scent free laundry detergent.
