Doing laundry may be a routine task that many find daunting or bothersome, but with the correct setup and helpful appliances, washing your delicates and folding your favorite slacks can become a smoother, more efficient, and even satisfying experience.
Whether you do your laundry in an apartment or you have an entire laundry room, Summit’s laundry tips offer the flexibility and personalization to help you fall in love with doing your laundry (or at least not dread doing it).
Here are five steps that can transform
your laundry experience forever:
1. Organize
Small organizational adjustments to your laundry space can make a big difference in how you feel about cleaning your clothes. A clutter-free, well-planned space helps you complete tasks more efficiently. Add storage shelving for detergents and fabric softeners, install wall hooks for convenient hang-drying, or use slide-out baskets to keep small supplies, like clothespins, organized.
2. Prioritize Efficiency
Energy-saving appliances not only reduce your utility bills, but they also minimize environmental impact. When shopping for a new washer or dryer, look for the ENERGY STAR® label and take a closer look at the unit’s features. You’ll want to look out for settings like load-sensing technology, which adjusts water levels based on the size of each load and can further reduce electricity and water usage.
Summit offers ENERGY STAR certified washers and dryers designed to help you save energy while maintaining high-quality performance.
3. Personalize Your Routine
Think about how laundry fits into your day-to-day life. Do you wash daily or once a week? Are you managing multiple loads or just your own? Tailoring your laundry-related chores around your day-to-day habits, like sorting clothes in advance, timing loads around your schedule, or using mesh bags for delicates, can make a noticeable difference in how smooth and stress-free laundry day feels
4. Learn Your Machines
Achieving optimal results when doing laundry isn't always about the washers and dryers themselves, but rather, how you use them. Modern machines offer specialty cycles for everything from delicates to athletic wear, and using them correctly can help your clothes last longer and come out cleaner. A good starting point is to take a few minutes to read your appliance manual, which will help you better understand your model's specific features and recommended usage.
5. Maximize Your Laundry Room
In smaller homes, every square foot counts, which is why maximizing your space is a crucial step in transforming your wash day experience.
Summit’s washer/dryer combo models are designed specifically for settings with limited floor space. Combining washing and drying functions into a single compact footprint offers efficiency without sacrificing performance. Summit’s washer and dryers can fit under counters or in small closets, making them ideal for ADUs, converted basements, and other tight layouts where laundry functionality is still needed.
Next Steps
Function matters, but so does aesthetics, especially in today’s homes where utility spaces are often integrated into open-concept designs or compact floor plans. Summit’s laundry appliances feature sleek finishes, intuitive digital controls, and modern styling that blends effortlessly into contemporary homes.
Whether you’re outfitting a laundry closet in a city apartment, customizing a utility room in a family home, or adding convenience to a guest suite, Summit offers versatile washer and dryer options that deliver the performance you need in a polished, space-conscious design.
