Whenever we talk with friends about Wash Street, they usually ask for laundry tips. And most of the time we say: you are probably using too much soap. Cut back on detergent to a tablespoon per load and your clothing, your washer, and your budget will be grateful!

But another big learning for us has been how to take care of your washing machine. Our machines at Wash Street work very hard, sometimes from 8am - 11pm every day, so we learned a thing or two about machine repair. Some of the most common error codes on washers are caused by drainage issues. The most common culprits are baby socks and thong underwear, but it’s good practice to clean your drains out on a regular basis. If you already are getting a low water flow error code, have a bucket ready when you open the drain! Your hard-working washer will thank you!
