Don’t Re-Wash, Maytag Fresh Hold!

For Challenge #3 of the Maytag Blogger Challenge, my family was sent clothes of different fabrics. The point of this challenge was to try out specific features on the Maytag Maxima XL HE for each item of clothing and remark on the results. After all, clothes come in every shape, size and fabric and thus, should not be washed as if they were all alike.

STOP RIGHT THERE!

So, I must point out right now that in my chaotic days, and just plain laziness {truth}, I had gotten into the habit of washing everything and everything, at once. Using the ‘normal’ setting.

Correction, just for the sake of convenience when putting away the items, I do wash towels, bedding, jackets etc separately. Yet, when it comes to clothing, this isn’t the case. I wash the twins clothes all together, hubbys and my clothes altogether and then my oldest daughters clothes altogether. Fabric, shamabric. You’re going in there regardless of what you are made from. Make friends, you don’t have a choice!

For years forever, I never thought of it. Never cared and certainly didn’t think it would make that much of a difference. 

Hi, I’m Tammi and I’m totally wrong. 

I guess my overall take from this challenge is this: For best results, you should be washing some fabrics separately. Yet, thanks to the Maytag Maxima XL duo, it’s not as hard {or time consuming} as one would believe. In reality, it’s simple. Too simple not to do. The results? AMAZING. 

Let me explain what I’m talking about, and the cycles I used for each fabric…

My girls were each given a 100% cotton t-shirt.

It’s the run-of-the-mill Cotton graphics shirt that is in every one’s closet. It was suggested that I should be washing cotton in a Cold Cycle, using the Maytag 12 Hour Fresh Hold option, then dried on a low-heat setting. 

The Maytag 12 Fresh Hold Cycle: “Keep clothes fresh and start drying right in the washer. Circulating air helps to keep odor or wrinkles from setting in for up to 12 hours after the wash cycle ends. Plus, this option may be selected manually at any time to dry out the interior of the washer.”

maytag fresh hold myorganizedchaos

Raise your hand if you forget items in the washer for hours {or days}, only to have to re-wash because of smell repulsion and worry over possible mold. Me, Me, Me!!

The fresh hold option on the Maytag Maxima XL HE is what I call ‘the lifesaver option’, since I forget laundry all.the.time. It’s a prevention against re-washing and wasting water and time, this cycle is now used by myself, for each and every load. ‘Cause you never know when you’ll get distracted and forget {ahem, always}.

  • Before, I’d have to re-wash and the fabric would be rough, but whatever, I’d hang it in the closet anyway. As you can see in the video above, my results for cotton clothing was: very fluffy, super soft and smelling really good. Honestly, I didn’t expect to see such a difference at all. It was a real eye-opener for sure, which is why I had to take this test one step further and also washed older clothes to see if they had the same results as new ones. Blown away, people!

For myself, Maytag sent a spandex top.

Wait … how do they know I live in Yoga pants? {eerie music}.

I must point out that I always had a ‘problem’ with my spandex, yet never took the steps to change my routine. Again: busy and lazy. You see, I washed and dried my Spanex with all my other clothing and thus, my yoga pants pilled and caused everything in that load to static. Despite fabric softener, everything had major static. Yep, and I kept on doing it. *hanging head in shame*

For Spandex it was suggested to use the Overnight Wash and Dry Cycle with the 12 Hour Fresh Hold Option with Dynamic Venting Technology.

overnight wash and dry maytag myorganizedchaos

Right away I was excited since the Overnight Cycle is one of my favorite features of all time. I touched on this in a previous challenge post, yet I love the chance to sing its praises again. As it’s the best cycle ever. Wash and dry while I sleep? Yes, please!

spandex Maytag Maxima XL challenge

  • My findings from this Spandex test, when washing the new shirt along with my old pants? No static, and much softer fabric. Even the old spandex hasn’t been that soft since the day I bought it. Keep in mind, the 12 Hour Fresh Hold tumbles the fabric for hours to keep them at their best. To me, that says a lot of drying which I would only assume meant MORE static. Yet, there wasn’t any at all… Best of all, it’s washed while I sleep, no extra steps required. This even suits my busy/lazy side. Well played Maytag, I’m convinced.

Linen, in the form of cargo pants for hubby.

‘Tis is the season for linen, right? Just like cotton, it’s a thin fabric that is cool and welcome for the Summer months. Yet, this fabric also wrinkles. A lot.

Which brings me to another point, I don’t iron. I know how, my mother taught me as a child. Yet, I hate it and refuse the chore. In fact, I’ve banned myself and the girls from owning anything that requires ironing. Yet, hubby has dress shirts which absolutely need it. So, bless his heart, he does all the ironing himself or takes the items to the dry cleaners for pressing. Even while in Mexico on vacation a couple months ago, he ironed his dress clothes before dinner while I sat back and drank my margarita. True story. 

So, how much does hubby appreciate the Wrinkle Guard on the Maytag Maxima XL dryer? LOADS! {pun intended}.

The challenge for Linen was to wash them on the Delicate Cycle using the Maytag 12 Hour Fresh Hold option, then to use the Wrinkle Guard on the Maytag Maxima XL dryer to get out all the creases.

linen delicate cycle maytag maxima xl myorganizedchaos

I stuck hubby’s linen pants into the washer, and then, forgot about them for longer than 12 hours {no surprise there}. While I knew the Fresh hold option would keep them from smelling and going ‘stale’, I was sceptical that the Wrinkle Guard would work on items that were left in the washer for that long. After all, it’s linen – it was born to wrinkle!

maytag linen pants

  • The wonderful result for the Linen test? Clean, fresh and absolutely wrinkle-free. No ironing by hubby needed at all, even though the pants were in the washer for such a long time. Again, saving time, energy and money since he always took these items for pressing in the past. You need only let the Maytag Dynamic Duo do the job for you. Guess I’m taking over the ‘ironing’ from now on, you’re welcome hubby. Yet guess what? This feature gets bonus points: I can still sit back and watch while sipping my margarita. We both win on this one.

** The many fabrics used in this challenge. Doing laundry with enough time left to play outdoors.**

Going into this part of the challenge, I honestly didn’t think I’d see a remarkable difference. I was so surprised to discover that washing certain fabrics, as intended, really does help to preserve the fabric and thus, make them last longer and look better. Yet you need to be equipped to get that job done.

Thanks to the smart features of the Maytag Maxima XL washer and dryer, cleaning all those different fabrics properly doesn’t come with the sacrifice of burden nor time. So, they’re actually attainable results, even for those that forget their laundry in the washer for longer than they should.

It’s as easy as pushing a button and walking away {and forgetting about it}. Even I can do that!

    Because we have a top loader I no longer do the laundry – too far to reach to the bottom – so any feature of a front loader would be wonderful to have again but I do like the Fresh hold option. When I had a front loader I used to put the laundry on before going to work and hanging it out when I got back which was usually 12 hours later – because my husband constantly forgot to check if any washing had been done

Or, like you, I leave them in the washer for days & forget.. until I smell mildew. The fresh option would be GREAT for me.

    Oh my goodness, that’s exactly how I do my family’s laundry!! Our washer and dryer are SO incredibly OLD I have just given up! Everything gets thrown in together…in the biggest heap possible…
    The longest I’ve forgotten about clothes in the dryer is probably 2 days!! :O We were really fortunate with everyone giving us clothes for our first son, so fortunate that I wash his clothes and forget about them because he won’t be missing anything as he has about 5 other wardrobes!!

    living in a busy small apartment building with SHARED laundry facilities, the longest I have ever left anything in a washer/dryer was overnight, the next morning a neighbour went to use the machine and discovered my load still inside. The darling lady even folded it for me and delivered it up the back fire escape stairs to my door. How sweet was she?!

    at the longest maybe an hour after it is done. I live in an apartment and you just can’t do that kind of thing or others would get mad

    I could so use the Fresh Hold option! I can’t tell you how many times laundry gets left sitting around here..and irons..sheesh I only use mine like twice a year so the wrinkle guard would be great too!

    Probably a whole weekend. I try to get all the laundry done by the time my husband comes home from work on Friday. If I haven’t finished, it will sit until the weekend is over because by then I’ve forgotten about it.

    I wash a load of laundry almost everyday, so they don’t stay in the washer or dryer for very long. Thanks for having this contest.

    It’s really very difficult in this full of activity life to listen news on TV, thus I only use the web for that
    reason, and take the newest news.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
    Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!

    Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this
    blog could undeniably be one of the best in its field.
    Excellent blog!
