1. Where are your washer and dryer? In a closet
2. Do you have a dedicated laundry room? Dedicated laundry closet
3. How big is it? The washer/drier stack and take up half the closet.
4. Top loaders, front loaders, two in one, other...? Top loading, even though they are stacked... Didn't realize they ever did that until I moved in here.
5. What color are your w/d? White
6. What brand? No idea
7. Likes or dislikes about your machines? It locks when on the spin cycle, which bugs me because I like to use the washing machine as a salad spinner. Also can't turn the buzzer off for the drier, which really sucks because I normally only use the drier if it is late at night and I am too tired to hang the clothes to air dry.
8. Pedestals or no? Don't know what that is.
9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? Homemade
10. Who does your household laundry? How often? Normally me, normally weekly when I am home between traveling for work. This week DH is doing the laundry because we were on vacation over the weekend.

[Deleted]

1. Where are your washer and dryer? Basement. Moved there by us, it was attached to the kitchen, but we used the space to create a second BR.

5. What color are your w/d? White.

8. Pedestals or no? Yes. Love them.

9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? Homemade sometimes, Tide when I haven't got homemade onhand (though I've been really busy lately, so there's been less detergent making going on...).

10. Who does your household laundry? How often? Me, always. On Sat. morning I do everything. During rainy season it's quick because I use the dryer, but during dry season (now) I hang everything out to dry, so it takes all day.

[auntie]

1. Where are your washer and dryer?In my basement. The house was designed to have it upstairs next to the MBR, over the foyer, but the previous owners wanted more space in the upstairs hall/volume in foyer. It's pretty, but the basement is a poor choice in a home heated by forced hot air/ducts.
2. Do you have a dedicated laundry room? No.

4. Top loaders, front loaders, two in one, other...?Top loader washer/standard dryer
5. What color are your w/d? Biscuit, they were closeouts
6. What brand? Whirlpool
7. Likes or dislikes about your machines?Dislike both. They have been very unreliable. I have had 3-4 major repairs to the washer, one to the gas dryer. They were highly rated in Consumer Reports- I no longer trust their judgement nor would I buy another Whirlpool appliance.
8. Pedestals or no?n/a
9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use?Tide Free for DH, Tide w/Bleach or Cheer for DS and I, Gain for linens, Downey Free for DH, Downey Mountain Spring for DS and myself.

9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? Tide with febreeze I have one of those downy bars inside of the dryer.
10. Who does your household laundry? How often? Two loads once a week. H and I break it up. Usually I load and run the machines and he folds. I hate folding.

[amblor]

1. Where are your washer and dryer? Our "mudroom" which is the first area you enter into from the back door

5. What color are your w/d? white

9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? Tide free and Tide Stain Release Free. We don't use fabric softener.

No

9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use?
We use All Small and Mighty and Gain FB

7. Likes or dislikes about your machines? the washer spins the clothes so well that clothes dry super fast in the dryer
8. Pedestals or no? Nope, we have cabinets above our washer and dryer so we didn't need the extra storage. Plus, it would have made our tiny laundry room look even smaller and they would have raised the dryer just enough to block the light switch which would have been super annoying.
9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? I use All Free and Clear liquid for the washer. I tried the All Mighty Pacs and it was a mess. They kept getting stuck in the front well of the washer. Definetly stick with the liquid that you add to the dispenser. I use Bounce Free & Sensitive dryer sheets.

2. Do you have a dedicated laundry room? Yes
3. How big is it? I am not sure. Maybe 10 by 20. It's pretty big for a laundry room, but the washer and dryer are on opposite sides of the room.
4. Top loaders, front loaders, two in one, other...? Top loader washer/ standard dryer. I will probably get a front loader if our washer goes out. It's getting to be pretty old, but I can't bring myself to replace it since it works fine.
5. What color are your w/d? White
6. What brand? I don't know.

[heliocentric]

1. Where are your washer and dryer? basement
2. Do you have a dedicated laundry room? no, but the basement is divided so laundry is on a separate side, but with other things.
3. How big is it? no idea
4. Top loaders, front loaders, two in one, other...? front loaders
5. What color are your w/d? white
6. What brand? bosch
7. Likes or dislikes about your machines? I love the wool and handwash cycles. I can use them for most clothes that are supposed to be dry cleaned. The only thing I don't like is that once & awhile the washer gets off balance and doesn't spin. I can't just run a spin cycle, so I have to run a "refesh" cycle which takes 15 mins. It's a small complaint.
8. Pedestals or no? no
9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? Ecos detergent. No softener, except for vinegar if I'm going to hang the clothes on the clothesline or wool dry balls.
10. Who does your household laundry? How often? Me, unless I'm out of town. Friday is my preferred day with any remaining loads on Saturday.

6. What brand? Fisher & Paykel

7. Likes or dislikes about your machines? No complaints

8. Pedestals or no? no

9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? Vaska detergent, white vinegar for fabric softener

10. Who does your household laundry? How often? Whoever thinks of it does it, whenever it needs to be done. I do it more often, since I am home during the day, but DH has done his fair share over the years. When we had kids living at home, we had a laundry sorter in the hall, and the person that put in the item(s) that made it a full load was responsible for putting it in the washer and let the others know so that anyone who thought about it could move it to the dryer later. It worked really well for us.

[sierramist03]

1. Where are your washer and dryer? In an room in our back door entry

6. What brand? Kenmore

I have a love/hate relationship with my laundry area. I wish it were larger so I could put drying racks in for hanging clothes to dry (right now I use the bathroom). But I do love the convenience of having all the laundry on the floor where it goes back to.

9. What detergent and fabric softener do you use? I use Gain for both. Love the scents!
10. Who does your household laundry? How often? We do laundry every Sunday, and depending on the day, we'll both do it.

10. Who does your household laundry? How often? H and I do our own laundry, clothes are usually every other week and I wash the towels/sheets/etc the off weeks. I can't stand doing more than 2-3 loads at a time, spending that much time in a day down in the dungeon!
