Skip The Laundry

Effectively immediately, Skip the Laundry will be rescheduling all current west side pick-ups and deliveries. This is due to the construction on both whoop- up and the highway. At this time we will not be accepting new west side pick-up requests. We will be releasing more information tomorrow once we have a plan in place. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will be reaching out to all our affected customers in the next hours.

How many times have you cleaned your dryers vent? Make sure to include with your spring or fall cleaning. Mistake 10: Not Cleaning Your Dryer Even though you empty the lint filter after each use (right?), lint buildup can clog the duct over time and become a fire hazard. A sure sign that your dryer is clogged? It takes more than an hour to dry a load. Once a year, detach the hose from the back of the dryer and snake a long brush through to push out lint. Also, scrub the lint ...filter once a year with a small toothbrush and a bit of detergent. Rinse, then air-dry completely. #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Do you lose socks in the laundry? Maybe rearranging how you load your washer will help. Mistake 9: Tossing Socks in Willy-Nilly Here’s a sock-saving tip: Place socks in the washer tub first, so they’re less likely to attach themselves to other garments and then go missing.... #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Do you hate wrinkles on your clothes? Double-check the setting used when washing and drying. Mistake 8: Ignoring the Permanent Press Setting on Your Dryer This medium-heat cycle with a cool-down period at the end is a proven crease curber. More tips: Don’t pack clothes in; they need to float freely or they’ll wrinkle. (Note: Ditto for the washer. Stuffing it can create wrinkles and prevent your clothes from getting clean. On top of that, it can put pressure on the machine’s ...bearings and shock absorbers, causing them to wear down prematurely.) And procrastinators, take note: It really does eliminate creases if you fold clothes when they’re still hot, right out of the dryer (or, if you prefer, right out of the pile that you dumped onto your bed). Give each item a quick shake so wrinkles don’t set in. If you don’t have time to fold a load immediately, shake out the pieces and lay them flat in the laundry basket, one on top of another, while they await further attention. #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Do you do one load of laundry at a time and then wait? Doing loads back to back is more efficient for the dryer. Mistake 7: Letting the Dryer Rest Between Loads Some people like to wait an hour after one cycle concludes before putting in a new load. But in fact, running back-to-back dryer loads is smart and efficient. It lets you take advantage of retained heat from the previous cycle, cutting down on energy usage.... #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Is your washing level? Make sure to double-check when you do your next load. Mistake 6: Not Leveling Your Washing Machine If your washer is not level, vibrations can damage your floor and prematurely wear out key components, like the shock absorbers and the tub bearings. (Plus, there’s that terrible noise.) Place a level on top of the machine and adjust the feet, which typically screw up and down, accordingly. If this doesn’t help, beef up the floor with a -inch-thick piece... of plywood that’s a little larger than the machine’s base. It will help absorb vibrations. #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Do you like to bleach your whites? We have another solution that eliminates the worry of bleach getting onto coloured clothes. Mistake 5: Overusing Bleach Think twice before you reach for the bleach: You actually don’t need it to get rid of protein stains, like blood, sweat, and tears. (Okay, maybe tears are not a big laundry issue.) One natural option: Toss stained socks, tees, and undies into a big pot of water with a few lemon slices and bring to a boil for a few minutes.... #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Nobody likes to have to sew buttons on at the last minute. Make sure to unbutton your shirts before washing to keep those buttons on. Mistake 4: Washing Shirts All Buttoned Up This seems like a good idea, but it can stress buttons and buttonholes and lead to premature poppage. Take the time to unbutton before tossing clothes in the washer (or the hamper).... #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Do you check the zippers on your clothes before putting them into the washer? We always make sure your clothes are ready to be washed by doing all the zippers up. Mistake 5: Not Zipping Zippers All the Way to the Top Metal teeth can snag delicate and woven clothing that’s being washed in the same load.... #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

Do you love the smell of laundry detergent? Be careful not to add too much to your clothes. Mistake 2: Using Too Much Detergent Excess suds can hold dirt pulled from clothes and get caught in areas that won’t always rinse clean, like under a collar, leading to bacteria buildup. The remedy: Use only half the amount of detergent that you normally do, then gradually increase that amount if your clothes are not coming out as clean as you would like. An exception: If you have har...d water, you may actually need more soap than you are using. Check the recommendation for hard water on your detergent bottle. #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql

We care about your laundry. For the next 10 days, we will be posting the most common mistakes people make when doing laundry. Are you guilty of doing them? Let us know or stop worrying by letting us do your laundry for you! Mistake 1: Rubbing Stains Furiously This can make the stain worse and possibly wear away the fabric. Instead, be gentle and methodical. Treat the stain as soon as you can; the less time that elapses, the more success you’ll have. And always use a white clo...th so that colours can’t transfer. Dab, rather than rub, working from the outside in to keep the stain contained. #laundry #skipthelaundry #yql
