With winter fast approaching now is the perfect time to get your laundry in shipshape for the cold months. Unlike those lovely warm days when you can simply throw your clothes in the washing machine and hang them up on the line to dry, in winter the whole way in which we do laundry completely changes and a clothing line is no longer a practical option. To accommodate the change in seasons, consider making the following adjustments to your laundry...
Get organised
If your laundry is looking like a bomb has gone off then it's time to roll up the sleeves and sort out that mess before the winter months arrive. If space is an issue in your laundry then the answer is to find handy and inexpensive storage solutions. These can include clearly labelled baskets, or containers/jars with lids to store powders and liquids which is a safer option for households with young children. Another idea is to hang a rail above the sink which is an excellent area to dry delicate items of clothing that cannot go into the tumble dryer. Clear space on benches or on a table to fold clothing, towels and sheets. Other nifty storage ideas include broom clips, vacuum hose frames, and pull-out ironing boards.
Choose the right appliances
washing machines
There are two types of washing machines to choose from - front loaders and top loaders. Front loaders include longer wash cycles and can increase the life of your clothing due to their gentler wash cycles. Top loaders have shorter wash cycles and are generally cheaper to buy than front loaders. Discover more differences between front loader and top loader washing machines via this video. Washer/dryer combination machines are another good option if you're limited by space. However most washer/dryer combos are quite small which may not suit larger families.
vented dryers
These are usually the most affordable types of clothes dryer. With a vented dryer, warm moisture exits through a hole in the back of the machine. In winter this is an important factor to consider and must be well managed to avoid a build up of condensation or damp. Many vented dryers offer a venting kit which expels the hot air through a window, or alternatively they can be installed professionally with an in-built venting flue which allows the air to exit through a wall or roof.
condensor dryers
Condensor dryers are often more expensive, but are a great option because moisture is extracted and the air it is either pumped away or reused in the machine. Unlike a vented dryer, they don't require a flue or window and can be easily installed anywhere. Due to their size they can't be wall mounted but using a stacking kit they can be stacked with a similar size washing machine to save space. Find out the benefits of buying a condensor dryer here.
drying cabinets
If you aren't a fan of either a vented or condensor dryer for your laundry then an alternative is a drying cabinet. Traditionally used in European ski resorts, drying cabinets or cupboards have existed for 30 years. As the only manufacturer of this type of product in Australia, Asko's drying cabinet uses a high air flow and low heat to allow you to dry everything from delicate linens to heavy coats and sportswear. Unlike conventional dryers, wet clothes are hung on adjustable pull-out racks, reducing the likelihood of creasing and shrinking due to incorrect heat settings. The Asko Drying Cabinet is also a great solution for clothes that don't require washing, but are still damp and need to be dried. Find out more about this product here or buy it online here.

The Block 2012 kicks off tonight with eight couples competing in a nail-biting 24-hour Elimination Challenge to determine who will make it through to the full property renovation competition. Contestants will then be given 10 weeks to restore one of four rundown terrace houses in South Melbourne which were built in the late 1800s during the Victorian gold rush era. With budgets increased to $125,000 in cash and vouchers, each team is given funds to help renovate each room. This year every house will be magically transformed thanks to kitchen appliances and laundry products supplied by E&S Trading - psst, stay tuned for more!
Inside each of the houses on the ground floor is the living room, kitchen and powder room with extra room in the front for contestants to use as they wish. On the second level are three bedrooms, an ensuite and a bathroom. While on the third level there is a rooftop terrace and adjoining room for couples to makeover however they see fit. The series will culminate in a thrilling auction event, with the couple whose property sells for the most above reserve winning an additional $100,000. We can't wait!
