FRAN SHERIFF explains that fully automatic washers and dryers with wash-and-wear and permanent press cycles reduce ironing. The article discusses shape-memory fabrics, heat and cool-off cycles, and the need to remove clothes promptly to prevent wrinkling while highlighting the benefits of built in cool-downs and moisture sensors for optimal results.
A national area probability survey of 2 006 women with automatic washers shows one fourth wash daily and ten or more loads weekly. Two thirds launder three or more days weekly, yet 70 percent had no service calls in the past year. 95 percent express satisfaction with washing appliances.
A family long drain on time and effort ends when a single automatic dryer handles their yearly laundry. Nine hours, fourteen thousand clothes pins and three miles of line are replaced by one machine.
The wash and wear or permanent press cycle makes the automatic dryer a pressing machine for many garments. It uses heat to remove creases while preserving desired shapes. An extra-long cool down tumbling prevents new wrinkles forming.
The article guides homemakers on selecting washers and dryers by considering cycles two to three, multi speeds, variable water levels and temperatures, soaking features for diapers, permanent press options, electronic dryness controls, and damp-dry settings to reduce ironing and manual effort.
