Summer is coming fast and so is the laundry! As temperatures rise, our clothes get lighter, the beach towels come out and outdoor living kicks in. From backyard barbecues to weekend trips and beach days, it is easy for washing to pile up.
This is the perfect time to prep for hot weather washing. With a few summer laundry tips and the help of Speed-e Laundromat, you can keep it all fresh and simple.
How to Care for Swimwear
Swimwear is delicate and needs the right care. Salt, chlorine and sunscreen can wear out the fabric fast.
Rinse after each wear. Cold water removes salt and chemicals before they soak in.
Put items in a laundry bag. Laundry bags help to provide extra protection to delicate items and stretch fabrics.
Use a gentle wash cycle. Our machines include laundry detergent that is safe for stretch fabrics.
Avoid hot water. Warm water or cold cycles work best for swimmers.
Never tumble dry. Swimwear should be air dried flat, away from sunlight.
Hand wash when needed. For high quality or delicate items, a gentle hand wash keeps fabric safe.
Rotate your swimmers. This gives elastics time to bounce back between uses.
Wash Beach Towels the Smart Way
Sandy towels and beach mats are hard to wash at home. That is where Speed-e helps you wash beach towels properly and fast.
Shake towels out before washing. This helps protect the washing machines from sand.
Use large washers. Our commercial machines let you wash large items fast and properly.
Add an extra rinse. This removes sunscreen, salt and any grit.
Dry with wool balls. These help fluff towels and speed up tumble dry times.
Use stain remover. Pre-treat oil or sunscreen stains before washing.
Refresh Summer Sheets and Linen
Summer bedding should feel fresh and light. Stored sheets often collect dust and smells over winter. Here’s how to clean your summer bedding right:
Air it out before washing. Hang linen outside first if possible.
Check the care labels. Some fabrics prefer warm water while others need cool cycles.
Use the right setting. A normal or gentle wash cycle helps protect the fibres.
Avoid fabric softener with natural fibres. Our eco-friendly softener is included and safe to use.
Dry it well. Our dryers make washing and drying quick, even on humid days.
