A Look at the Ludicrous Laundry Divide: How Splitting Up Cho
By:ARA
(ARA) - Almost every woman in America knows the feeling: you leave your partner to do the laundry and return to find that your linens are pink, your blouses are bleached, and your favorite jeans are three sizes too small. It’s no wonder that in households across America, 89 percent of women are still primarily responsible for doing the laundry.
According to a recent national survey commissioned by GE Harmony -- a new washer and dryer system that takes the guess work out of doing the laundry -- one in ten men know nothing about laundry, despite the fact that it is one of the oldest domestic tasks in existence. In addition, 23 percent of women consider their partners to have little or no knowledge about laundry procedures.
“There are many household chores of which women tend to carry the heavier load,” says Keith F. Luscher, author and relationship guru. “Laundry is among the most significant. Men have all kinds of excuses for why they don’t do laundry. Everything from ‘I don’t have time’ to ‘I don’t know how to use the machine.’”
But ladies, take note, those excuses no longer have merit. The GE Profile Harmony Clothes Care System is the first washer that communicates electronically to the dryer, presetting dry cycles for better clothes care and increased time savings. The washer talks. The dryer listens. The result is better clothing care. With this laundry pair, and a few laundry-room tips from GE, ladies can relax when it comes to having their men take care of the clothes.
"Our Harmony Clothes Care System, designed for today’s busy lifestyle, offers a solution for families across the country,” says Cynthia Fanning, marketing manager -- Clothes Care, GE Consumer Products. “It is smart enough to take the guesswork out of doing laundry, saving time and providing better clothes care. This wash system is in harmony with today’s lifestyles -- making the lives of busy men and women everywhere, easier.”
*Simple Sorting Tips: It’s not just color and whites
Sort by texture: separate lint producers, such as terry cloth from lint collectors like corduroy.
Sort by fabric type: separate cottons and linens from synthetics and blends and separate polyester knits from delicate fabrics.
Sort by weight: separate heavy items, such as towels from light items, such as curtains.
* Helpful Washer/Dryer Hints
Don’t overload the washer or dryer -- For the best cleaning and drying action, clothes need room to move freely.
Detergents work best in warm-to-hot wash water.
Stop dryer tangles by sorting and untangling clothes prior to and during drying, and never combine two wash loads. Save energy by keeping the dryer filter and exhaust system clean, using “no-heat” cycles when practical and drying similar fabrics together.
