Innovative Solutions To Simplify Your Back-To-School Laundry Routine

For so many reasons, parents breathe a sigh of relief when the first day of school rolls around. After the unstructured days of summer, the return to routine is a much-needed change of pace. But if there’s one thing that isn’t a welcome by-product of the season, it’s all the laundry that comes with it. Mud splatters from recess, grass stains on soccer jerseys, ketchup and mustard mishaps from dinners en route to extracurriculars…the back-to-school laundry struggle is real.

The good news is that Whirlpool understands and is here to help. The industry-first Whirlpool® Top Load Washer with 2-in-1 Removable Agitator and Electric Dryer makes tackling laundry easier than ever.

A Washer That Works Two Ways

For years, consumers have had to choose between a washer with an agitator (a tall spindle in the centre of a top-load machine that churns clothes to help remove substantial stains) and one without. There are pros and cons to each: the friction provided by an agitator can break down stubborn stains, but the feature can be hard on delicate clothing. The agitator also takes up space in the washer, reducing the capacity of the basin.

With the Whirlpool® Top Load Washer with 2-in-1 Removable Agitator, you no longer have to choose. An industry first, the removable agitator means you can customize any load to your needs. Remove it for fabrics like fine knits, lightweight materials that may stretch easily or embellished items (have a kid who loves sequins? This one’s for you!). Reinsert the agitator for sturdier items like denim, bulky bedding, towels, athletic wear and more. With these two options to choose from, it’s like having twice the washer at home.

Need a little extra stain-removal help? This washer also features a built-in water faucet for pre-treating heavily soiled items. For clothes that need to soak, the Pre-soak Option allows for soaking and washing in one cycle, with a 30-minute pre-soak before the wash begins.

No More Dryer Guesswork

Too often, clothes are just tossed in on the hottest (and fastest) setting while parents walk away to do the next thing on their to-do list—especially if there’s a kiddo waiting on their favourite sweater or pair of pants. The result? Over-drying, which can wear down fabrics and shorten the life cycle of clothing.

Enter the Whirlpool ® Smart Top Load Electric Dryer, with an Advanced Moisture Setting. This innovative machine means the end of over-drying. Three sensors track moisture and temperature throughout a cycle, ending it at just the right time. This dryer also features intuitive controls, which means it actually helps guide you to the correct cycle combinations. You can also customize up to 35 combos on your own to hit on exactly the right type of fabric care for every load.

Together, this washer and dryer duo helps to simplify family laundry, streamlining the washing and drying process and finding efficiencies. Yes, you will need to sort and start the load, but after that, Whirlpool’s smart features do the heavy lifting, making laundry easier than ever.
