A good TV can complement your interior design and of course become the center of attention for the whole family.

To choose a good TV for your home you must be clear on your needs, there really seems to be no limits on TV prices/characteristics, so its good to know where you stand.

What kind of TV is right for your needs? 

The most bang for your buck 

We are talking about good price/quality relations.

To start you can go for the LG OLEDB9P series one of the most affordable high-end models out there.

OLED TVs are at the top of quality at the moment but they tend to be on the expensive side, so it’s a great choice is you want to upgrade without breaking the bank. 

Also, consider the TCL 6-Series offering one of the best image quality to price tag ratio and it comes with the praised Roku TV system. 

Gamers paradise 

Both for avid and amateur gamers alike a move up to something like a Samsung Q70R QLED TV Series will make all the difference. 

Knowing how to choose the right TV will elevate your game skills and plainly just make you enjoy it more.

For binge-watchers 

The couch masters that can sit through a series a day know that picture quality and sound can change the whole experience.

A TV like the Sony A9G Master Series OLED with its Netflix calibration mode will be the thing of dreams.

When you install your TV

You rely on it to keep your clothes, towels and more clean so it makes sense that now that you have time at home, you would try to figure out how to deep clean your washing machine. 

It is a simple process with a few steps to follow, and you can pick and choose what to do when you feel like it.

The more tedious task you can leave for every once in a while, and things like running a cleaning cycle should be more common, in order to keep your machine, and what you wash, clean and smelling good!

Ok, let’s get started on deep cleaning your washing machine:

Detergent Drawer 

Now, this is one piece of the washing machine that doesn’t get a lot of attention, but it can get really dirty if ignored.

The drawer can accumulate detergent residue that you should eliminate for a deep clean feel, you can do so by extracting the drawer (if you can) and soaking it in warm water and rinsing, if you can’t extract it try cleaning it with warm water and a cloth.

Door 

There’s a lot of touching and contact with the door and latch of the washing machine, clean both inside and out with vinegar/lemon mix or your choice of cleaner. 

Rubber gaskets

A big one that often gets forgotten, the rubber gaskets that hold the drum to the door can become smelly or gunky from the water/detergent mix. 

For a deep clean you should scrub them thoroughly and let dry, it will help keep the mold at bay and your laundry loads fresh.

Drum

It’s the biggest part of the machines and one of the easiest to clean, you can do it with warm water, your choice of cleaner and a cloth or run a cycle with vinegar DIY mix or machine cleaner. 

Extra tip:

Always air out the drum after a wash to avoid moldy build-up or smells.

Clean or empty the filter

Most washing machines have a lint filter, look at your instruction manual and follow the guide on how to clean or change your filter, it will keep your laundry free of lint and give you that deep clean you want.

Extra tip: 

Set reminders on your phone for when you need to repeat any of these, that way it won’t be months before you deep clean your washing machine again. 

And if you need help installing or fixing something with your washing machine you can always count on Maydone!

How we use our appliances is a big part of this transformation, so learning to do your washing with the least environmental footprint can help you achieve your green goals.

Use clothes consciously 

When you can, wear clothes more than once. This obviously doesn’t apply for all clothing, but at times we wash items that are still clean, wasting more water and energy. 

For example, denim experts would say to stave off washing your jeans for as long as you can. Use your common sense (and sense of smell) to pick which items can hold off on a wash. 

Use greener detergent 

Try to choose the more eco-friendly options for washing your clothes, the more chemical detergents can do a lot of damage to the environment. The greener alternatives could be pricier but it will be gentler not only on the planet but your clothes and health as well. 

Use concentrated detergent

They deliver more with a smaller carbon footprint, always make sure its the right kind for your machine. 

Or make your own detergent
