Washing Machine (Washer)
No machine operates forever without maintenance, & your washing machine is no different. However, it may seem strange to think that you actually need to wash your washing machine. Following are some steps to help you maintain your washer so it will continue to work for you for years to come.
+Inspect the hoses and fittings on your washer. Make sure the hoses aren't cracked or blistered, the fittings aren't becoming corroded and no water is dripping. It's a good idea to replace the hoses and fittings as part of regular washing maintenance every 5 years even if you don't see any problems.
+Level the washing machine. Use a carpenter's level and adjust the machine's feet until the bubble indicates the washing machine is level. A washer that bangs around with every load needs to be leveled before it breaks down.
+Clean the tub of your washer. This should be done every three months. Set the washer on hot, and if there's a setting for extra dirty clothes, choose that. Let the tub fill with water, then add 3 cups of white distilled vinegar and a 1/2 cup of baking soda. When the tub begins to drain, advance the cycle to spin. After the cycle ends, set the washer to cold and run another cycle.

+Flush your washing machine dispensers. If you can remove them, do so and soak them in hot water. While they're soaking, clean out the gunk that collects around them and between the top of the washer and the tub. If you can't remove the dispensers, pour hot water through them until they're clean for good maintenance.
+Use less detergent and fabric softener in your washer. Your clothes will get just as clean with half the recommended amount. Dilute your fabric softener with water or try using white distilled vinegar instead.
Dryer
Whether you have a gas or electric dryer, there are a number of things that you can do to keep it running longer, better, safer and cheaper. Protecting your appliances with regular maintenance makes good sense. A major appliance is an expensive addition to your home, and proper maintenance can extend its life. Making more efficient use of your dryer saves you energy dollars too.
+Please see our tips & links page to read about the dangers of dryer fires. It is recommended to have to the interior of your dryer professionally cleaned by a qualified technician on a regular basis. If you have never had this done, please call us to have this scheduled.

+Keep your
dryer exhaust vent clear. Signs of a clogged dryer vent are clothes that
take a long time to dry, or dryers that aren’t heating as quickly as
they used to. Clogs happen fast, so check often. Clogged dryer vents
make dryers run longer, shortening their useful life.
+Avoid overloading your dryer. Running a huge drying load makes the dryer work harder and less efficiently.

+Clean the lint filter on your dryer after each use. This will maintain good air-flow which will help your clothes dry faster.
+Use your dryer
efficiently. If you have a number of loads to do, don't fold a load by
pulling items out of the dryer one at a time. Instead, pull an entire
load out and reload with wet clothes while the dryer is still hot. Fold
the freshly dried clothes while the new load is drying. This will keep
the dryer from cooling down between loads and having to come back up to
temperature. Changing your routine slightly will extend the life of the
dryer and save on energy.
+Use only the drying power you need. Don't set the dryer for 70 minutes when 50 minutes will do the job. Do some creative observation to see how long it really takes to dry your clothes. Once you have a good idea, choose a more precise dryer setting for each load.
+Consider using a clothesline instead of your dryer. When drying large items like bedspreads, comforters and area rugs, use a clothesline for the bulk of the drying. When the items are almost dry, use the dryer to fluff and soften them for a few minutes before folding.
