No More Stress On Laundry Day

How many loads of laundry have you done throughout your life?

A few hundred? A few thousand?

However much it is, Speed Queen has been in the laundry business since 1908. With over 100 years of experience in designing, prototyping and testing, no one knows laundry better than Speed Queen.

The best part is, you benefit from all their knowledge!

Laundry can be a stressful chore — lugging clothes from the basket, to the washer, then the dryer, and back into the basket to fold and put away. The last thing you should worry about is the durability of your washer and dryer.

Put your trust in Speed Queen, and laundry day will be a breeze.

How to Clean Caramel From Your Clothes

Halloween is a little over a month away. There are candy displays in every corner of the grocery store, and all the local harvest festivals are starting in just a few days.

There’s going to be sugar everywhere: bags of chocolates, popcorn balls, candy apples and candy corn. Little hands and faces will be covered in ooey, gooey sugar, and that can mean only one thing. More dirty clothes and stains to clean.

Everyone loves caramel. It makes a good dip and coating for apples. But one false move and you could be wearing your favorite treat. Fortunately, Speed Queen knows how to remove caramel from clothes so you can enjoy this sticky treat in peace.

1. Remove any extra caramel with a spoon or dull knife.
2. Run cold water over the stain on the opposite side of the fabric to force the caramel out.
3. Pre-treat the stain.
4. Wash in hot water.
5. Check the stain before drying.

Sound simple? It is! This fall, your family can enjoy caramel candy in all its forms without ruining your clothes.

How to Manage Back to School Laundry

The school year is almost here. Can you sense it? Back to school sales, new clothes and new

schedules.

You even have kids who are excited to return to school! They want to see their friends, play their favorite sports and try out for the school play. Homework? Not so much, but it comes with the territory.

Because your kids are excited for school, they love to shop for new clothes. The back to school sales make this an easy endeavor, but the real problem is when you get the clothes home...and every day afterward.

Your washer and dryer are worn out after years of cleaning clothes, towels, blankets, bed sheets and sports uniforms. Things aren’t washing up as well as they used to, and the dryer is leaving damp spots. Your laundry room needs a new hero.

Speed Queen makes fabulous washers and dryers. A Speed Queen washing machine has a stainless steel tub that doesn’t corrode, chip or crack and has a digital display to easily see how much time is left in the cycle. You’ll get years of use from a Speed Queen washer and dryer.

You also get all the temperatures you need for every type of washing and drying: hot, for whites and heavily soiled clothes; warm, for rayon, jeans and knits; and cold, for delicates or bright colors.

Intrigued yet? Say goodbye to your old washer and dryer. School is almost back in session, and you need the quality and performance only a Speed Queen provides.

The Right Way to Wash Wool

Spring is on the horizon. You can almost taste it through the recent rain and windy weather. The scales are beginning to tip and the upcoming forecast shows more sun than rain clouds.

Now is the time to use the remaining cold, rainy days to properly clean and store your winter clothes. For most of us, our wardrobe is cotton or polyester based. Wool is an underutilized winter fabric. Wool blankets are perfect for snuggling up by the fire and wool sweaters are a staple at the ski lodge. But when spring rolls around, wool is the last thing on your mind.

It’s time to pack up and store your winter clothes. Before doing so, you need to wash everything so it stays fresh during the off season. How do you go about washing a unique fabric such as wool?

Our Speed Queen laundry tip says it all. To refresh wool and retain the integrity of the fabric, put washable wool in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry. And, you’re done! It really is that simple.

Where you wash your clothes is just as important as how you wash them. A Speed Queen washer is built to last longer and clean better. It spins each load as it drains, so no dirt is left behind on your laundry. Fresh and clean every time; Speed Queen has you covered.

It’s time to embrace spring! Wash your wool and store it. Warmer weather is on the way.

School is in session

Back to school. The three words you’ve longed to hear since summer started. And now? It’s finally here. You’re excited to have the kids in school again. School brings with it new friends, sleepovers, games and other school activities.

A new school year also means a new wardrobe. You went shopping and found the best deals for your kids. They have new clothes and a positive attitude about classes and seeing their friends.

But another reality dawned once the shopping bags were empty and the hamper filled to the brim with your new purchases. Laundry. So much laundry! And it’s not just a one-time thing. You’re going to be washing clothes, uniforms and jerseys. You need a washer that can handle all this washing. You need a Speed Queen. 

Why a #SpeedQueen? Because you can’t break ‘em! They are appliance royalty; tough, sturdy and streamline. You need that in a washer with all the laundry your family will amass. The Speed Queen has a mechanical action that moves more laundry through the water and a three-coat, commercial-grade finish that keeps your machine looking new for years to come. Another nice feature is the digital display, which shows when your laundry will be finished. No more guesswork.

Additionally, the smooth stainless steel tub is gentle on linens and won’t wear on fabric. Your family’s new clothes (including yours!) will stay clean and fresh for this school year and the next.
