We are all looking for ways to save

At home, it is one load at a time, one dryer load at a time – when you can save time, it is as good as saving money. Oversized washers and dryers, make it easy to see how you can save time doing multiple loads at once. And then you will have more time in your day. At home, one load of laundry takes about 25 minutes to wash and 45 minutes to dry. By washing on the big 5 loader washers – 23 minutes to wash, and then 30 – 45 minutes to dry…all five loads!!! Easy math…

Does it really mean “dry clean only”

I have been at the laundromat for 10 years – and in most cases, “dry clean only” items can be safely laundered. The one item we did have to refuse was a genuine Persian Rug, that a teenager needed to wash before Mom and Dad got back from their weekend get-a-way. Not a good idea to launder a genuine Persian Rug. Most comforters, however, launder extremely well. Often, when they say “dry clean only”, we use cold water wash, delicate cycle, delicate soap, and tumble dry low, often taking it out while it is barely damp and finish drying it overnight. The cording around the edge of some comforters is an item thatn shrinks up when it is over dried in a dryer. If you have a question about an item, give us a call or write us and we can help you decide the most economical way to take care of your items.

Hot, warm or cold…

How do you make the decision to use hot, warm or cold water for your wash? Some customers have the preference to always use cold water, but sometimes for sanitizing you need to use a hotter temperature. When all else fails, follow the instructions on the garment tags. For most, however, it is less expensive to wash loads combined. In that case, cold water is always the best bet. Wash like colors together. Whites – use hot / for towels – use hot / for bright colors – use cold / for grays and tans – you can use warm / for clothes that have been washed alot – use warm. For all circumstances, use your best guess – new jeans / cold – red / COLD!! The milder the soap, the less fading occurs as well.
