Maytag laundry tip of the week.


Skirt the iron.

Ironing can be an extremely time-consuming project. Any activities that help prevent wrinkles will ensure that laundry day is a little shorter.

Always remove your clothes from the dryer while they're still warm. The longer they sit around in the drum of your machine, the more likely they will be to have wrinkles. Listening for the buzzer not only keeps the laundry process moving, but will prevent you further headaches after you fold.

Always read your care labels. Cotton clothing, as well as some blends, react better to certain temperatures or drying times. You can greatly reduce fabric damage that leads to wrinkling through correct care.

Sleep Tips



Set a regular bedtime. Go to bed at the same time every night. Choose a time when you normally feel tired, so that you don’t toss and turn. Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, help your body adjust by making the change in small daily increments, such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day.

Maytag Kitchen tip of the week.

Stay Cool

• Keep your refrigerator at the right temperature.
The temperature of your refrigerator should be below 40° F (ideally 37° F) and your freezer should be kept at 0° F. This is the single most important thing you can do to not only improve freshness, but keep food safe from harmful bacteria.

Maytag laundry tip of the week.


Sort, sort, sort!

Spend more time sorting, and you'll spend less time washing, drying and folding.

As any parent of a teenager knows, often times clothing will end up in the hamper without ever being worn. If you can identify which garments got put into the laundry basket instead of ending up back on a hanger or in a drawer where they belong, you'll not only save time, but you'll save water, energy, and money, as well.

Instead of waiting until wash day to sort the laundry, do it as you take off your clothes. Have two baskets in the closet, bathroom, or laundry room for dirty clothes - one for whites, and one for darks and colors. This way, you can just grab a basket and throw it in the wash. .

Sleep Tips

Shift-work strategies.
Have a nap: 
                Get all the sleep you can. If it is possible for you, an evening nap before going to work will prevent part of the accumulation of sleep loss and improve  your alertness at work. Even if you don't sleep, a 1 hour nap in a dark and quiet room  will help  you to  feel more rested.
