Things to Remember About Laundry Room Remodeling

According to the National Association of Home Builders, laundry rooms are one of the most sought-after home features. In today’s article, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, a top bathroom remodeler, explains what you need to know when adding or remodeling a laundry room.

Organizing Your Laundry Room

You don’t need a huge space to have a great laundry room, you just need to be efficient with the space that you do have. Stack or put your appliances side by side so you can easily transfer wet clothes to the dryer. The machines should be located directly in front of the utility hookups. You may also want to add a counter or freestanding table that you can use for sorting, treating and folding. Use baskets and open shelving to store all the supplies you need.

Front-Loading Washing Machine Benefits

Front-loading washing machines are more expensive but they tend to clean better and more efficiently than top-loading machines. This is because front-loading machines have a faster spin cycle that wrings out more water. A front loader also allows for design flexibility. You can stack it with a dryer to save floor space, raise it on a pedestal or top it with a counter.

Understanding Washer Ratings

High-efficiency washers are rated by WF and MEF. WF or Water Factor indicates the number of gallons of water consumed per cubic foot of capacity. The lower the WF, the more efficient the washer. MEF or Modified Energy Factor is a measure of the energy used to heat the water and run the washer. The higher the MEF rating, the more energy-efficient the washer.
