Washers & Dryers
 |

Basic top load washers use an agitator that rotates back and forth to wash the clothes. However, there are some top loaders that use the drum feature, just as a front load washer does. |
Front loading washers, a standard for commercial laundromats, are becoming more common in the everyday home. With their gigantic drum, you can do a lot more laundry in a lot less time. |
The least common of all laundry appliances, top loading dryers are good for eliminating the need for you to constant bend up and down. |
The most common dryer, front loaders are great because they hold so much! Whether you're washing lots of blue jeans or a sheet set, these can get the job done. |

Tired of using your couch or kitchen counter as a folding table? Then just buy one for your laundry room! There are plenty of styles that have drawers and baskets attached. |
Everyone needs an ironing board or iron. Buy one that attaches to your wall so it's not in the way when it's not being used. |
