Washing Machine and Dryer:

The washing machine and dryer are located in the utility room. Load clothes evenly to maintain balance during the wash cycle. Use the appropriate detergent for your laundry needs. Select the desired wash cycle, dry cycle, and water temperature based on clothing care instructions. Avoid overloading the machine to ensure optimal performance. Once the wash is complete, promptly remove clothes to prevent odors.

Dishwasher:

The dishwasher is situated in the kitchen. Scrape off excess food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. Load dishes with care, ensuring they do not block the spray arms. Use dishwasher detergent as recommended for best results. Select the appropriate wash cycle based on dish cleanliness and load size. Refrain from overloading and arrange items strategically for efficient cleaning. Empty the dishwasher after the cycle is complete to allow proper drying.

In the kitchen, beneath the sinks, you’ll find supplies for the dishwasher and washing machine, including detergent powders and tablets.
