How My #WhirlpoolMoms Duet Washer Keeps Me Sane

With each passing day, my memory seems to get worse.  I don’t know if it’s the two kids, the full time job, the blog, the conference, or just my age but I swear I would forget my own name if I didn’t have a nametag on at work all day!  I live by Post-It notes.  Some days, my house looks like I re-wallpapered in yellow sticky notes so I can appear put together and remember at least 95% of my responsibilities. 

Fortunately, there are a few things that keep me sane….my family, my friends, and my Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer.  I have so many things to remember in a day (kids’ lunch money, homework, dance schedules, meetings, etc.) that the last thing I want to think about is my laundry.  My Whirlpool Duet has made laundry effortless and painless!  Here are a few ways that my Whirlpool Duet Set keeps me sane:

a.  Got stains?  No problem!  The Whirlpool Duet has many cycle options to get out even the toughest stain.  In fact, the washer even gives you advice on how to get out those unsightly stains….each option will explain exactly why you should use that cycle.  I don’t have to remember a thing!

b.  One of my fears about owning my first front load washer was the rumor that they can build up quite the foul smell.  The last thing I wanted was for my washer to stink!  Fortunately, Affresh keeps the smells at bay.  Simply pop in a tablet and run a “clean washer” cycle.  Easy. 

c.  Because one of my daughters is in PreK, she takes naps on a cloth napmat kept at school.  Once a month, the napmat comes home for cleaning and in the past 30 days we have received notices about both lice and stomach flu going around her classroom.  Fabulous.  I popped the napmat in the allergen cycle and selected the handy “sanitize” option confident that we would get that napmat clean!  No lice for this mama!

d.  The Whirlpool Duet Washer is not only pretty but smart, too!  It tells me with both a written notice and an audible reminder that it is time to clean my machine which is great for this forgetful Mom. 

I have owned the Whirlpool Duet set for about 2 months now and can honestly say that I have found nothing that I don’t love.  I am getting laundry done in a record amount of time and the set is just incredibly easy to use.  I hereby declare my Whirlpool a “yellow sticky note free zone!”

Saving Time With My Whirlpool Duet

As a Mom who works full time outside the home, I treasure every moment with my kids and husband when I arrive home from the job.  While life’s responsibilities pull me in many directions, I have learned to reorganize my priorities and make family come first.  The last thing I want is for laundry to come between me and my little ones!

As much as I want to ignore the housework, the mountain of laundry threatens to take over my house.  The solution?  Do the laundry and do it fast!  Fortunately, I was chosen as a Whirlpool Mom and have been testing out the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer for the last month.  Let me share with you the features that help me save time and energy:

Photobucket1.  The washer has a feature called precision dispense.  Simply fill the reservoir with your favorite detergent once every 32 loads.  The washer dispenses exactly the right amount of detergent which not only cuts back on time, but waste, too!

2.  One of my favorite features of the Duet washer is Fan Fresh.  How many times have you washed a load of laundry, forgot to transfer to the dryer, and have to re-wash the load?  With Fan Fresh, after the cycle has been completed, the washer will periodically “freshen” the load by spinning which actually can dry the load eliminating the need for re-washing.

3.  The washer not only saves time but saves energy, too.  The EcoBoost feature allows you to choose to decrease the water temperature while increasing agitation which provides the same results for less energy.  LOVE!

4.  The dryer has some great features as well.  Because I despise my iron, the enhanced touch up feature is at the top of my list!  This is a steam cycle that touches up your clothes and gets rid of pesky wrinkles.  Any feature that allows me to bag the iron is my new BFF!

5.  The dryer also saves energy by sensing how wet your clothes are and turning off the cycle when your clothes are dry (as opposed to using timed cycles which will continue to run even after clothes are dry).

I am absolutely loving my Whirlpool Duet set so far.  Saving both time and energy are important to me and this set gets perfect scores!  I am looking forward to sharing more of my favorite features soon!
