A typical washer which 4 cubic feet, weighs up to 12-16 pounds per load and large washers which is 4.5 cubic feet weighs up to 20 pounds. We must analyse whether we need a small or big washing machine.

If we are planning to take only small space, then we must compare the compact models which suits our needs. We must take a measure of our room, the height, width and depth of a room and write it down in a paper and when we go for purchasing take the lengths which we have noted down, so that it makes us to buy a good model.

Designing a laundry room

When we are building a home or buying a new one, then we must take some time for designing a laundry room. As the national association of builders says that the new home users ask for a separate laundry room and some of them built washer in the upper level or in first floor. According to the survey the home users need to have a good amount of space for work in the laundry room. The best option is to built storage cabinets and the detergent powder can be kept inside the cabinets.

Always don't make a new space for the laundry and give some extra space for keeping the washer and you need to have some space for walking. When we are placing front load washing machines, we must give some 48 inches for keeping a walk space in front of the appliances. We must keep some pedestals for lifting the appliances if needed in an emergency period. The detergents and bleach powders must be kept at high space, so that the children will not be able to take the products. Giving some insulations are good for getting some protection from noise levels. The electrician or the plumber will be having some suggestions in giving the lines to keep laundry room in proper manner.

How to load a washing machine?

If you have completed the dirts and strains from the laundry, then it is time to load the washing machine. First add certain amount of detergent and select the correct cycle and water temperature for load and then try to load the washing machine. Try to load small and large items in each load and the washing machine will give good action. A regular washer can load one or three bed sheets, shirts, and small items like underwear etc.
If you are having large items, then try to wash it separately so that the washer will not have any problems. You must load the large items in a equal proportion and don't load it on the agitator alone.

How to save energy in the laundry room?

Try to purchase a energy star washer which requires 40 % of energy and 65% of small amount of water, than a standard washing machine. Energy star models takes only less water and it results in less drying time.

Select a washing machine which suits your home. Normally the capacity of the washer will be 1.6- 3.8 cubic feet. If your load is small, then select a small model which requires less amount of water.

Most of the energy used in washing machine is used for heating water. You must look which setting is good, whether warm or hot. Switch the temperature from hot to warm so that you can save your energy cost.

Purchase a machine which shuts your machine when clothes are dry. Air dry feature can reduce energy use and it can avoid the wrinkles.

Dryers which use one load of energy, using electric power and dryers which use natural gas can increase the loading of clothes three times faster than normal electric dryers.

You can plan, how much amount of clothes you can put in one session. This can save the energy during each session.

Always use the dryer filter after normal use and always clean properly after each use.
