An Unlikely Gift: Washing Machine Accessories

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Is it better to give a gift that is aesthetically pleasing, something out of a magazine “gift guide,” or something truly useful, something you know the recipient needs? I’m not always sure, and I guess it depends on how well you know the recipient, but I know for sure which category washing machine accessories fall into… the latter.

It all started when I dropped by my sister’s house the other day to visit with her, give her a gift I’d been meaning to drop off, and finally see her new bedroom set. I arrived, took off my coat, and turned around to see her darting to the back of the house, hollering-”I’ll be right back, just a minute!”

She’s my younger sister, and despite being consistently more put-together and mature than I, still wants things to be perfect when I’m over. What had drawn her to the back of the house? Her washer and dryer were making too much noise, and that was not acceptable.

The house was a little older, rough around the edges, but with a lot of character. It was exactly where I saw her, but the little hiccups with dated appliances seemed to be wearing on her nerves. This latest venture with the washer and dryer was especially annoying, causing her to constantly shut off the machine, leaving wet laundry to sit and damp clothes to wrinkle.

She ended up restarting the whole cycle on most occasions, and was probably spending a fortune on detergent. But-what can I say?-that’s her. More importantly, it was affecting her work schedule; she’s a writer, so not being able to work from home between certain hours can be more than a small annoyance.

Being the older sister that I am, I set to finding a solution to her problem-I read blogs, talked to someone at a home appliance store, even briefly considered chipping in for a new machine altogether.

And then I came across a line of washing machine accessories that promised to reduce the noise and vibrations of your aging washing machine. I was skeptical, but eager to help her out-and so we gave them a try.

Victory!
I’m proud to say she now runs her wash just one time, can work through the day with fewer interruptions (at least none from her appliances), and when I stop by to visit her, we can sit and chat over a cup of coffee, regardless of whether she’s doing laundry.

Washer & Dryer, Accessories, and Other Lessons from a New Owner

Friday, December 11th, 2009

As someone accustomed to what seemed like years at the Laundromat, finally having a washer and dryer to call my own (quarter-free!) was a big day. I thought that was the end-all, be-all when it came to my clothes-washing regimen, until a friend mentioned washer and dryer accessories. “You mean there’s more?!” the little voice in my head said (though I outwardly pretended to know what she was talking about).

And, as it turns out, there are several washer and dryer accessories that will hopefully extend the life of my machines and make them just that much more functional in the time being. I quickly stocked up on products meant to cleanse/refresh your machines, found the perfect high efficiency detergents, and every other bit for my washer and dryer.

Accessories that really made a difference in my place, though, were the washing machine pads my friend recommended. When I first saw them I assumed they would merely prop the machine up a little, but do little for the noise level and vibration.

Once I tried them, however, I was sold. They seemed like such a simple, almost obvious solution to the sometimes obnoxious but completely avoidable rattling, booming, and shaking that filled my small apartment!

When you live in smaller quarters than you might be used to, silence becomes just as valuable as space. I can holler at my noisy neighbors all I want, but when the noise is coming from my own unit, I’ve got to find a solution myself.

Well, I usually have to. But not for my washer and dryer, anymore! These tiny, sturdy little slippers that go on the machine make it so I don’t even know when the machine is on. I even had to learn how to set up a buzzer for when the cycle ended!

I was so used to waiting to hear noise die down that once I added the feet, the cycle could end and I was none the wiser. At the end of the day, though, I was glad to turn on the buzzer option for my machine-if it meant that I could read my favorite magazine or chat on the phone in almost silence, or as close as I’m going to get in my building.

Now all I need to figure out is how to get similar products for all of my neighbors’ machines… and their feet.

Make It Run Like New With a Washing Machine Pad

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

As a recent college graduate, I find it necessary to eliminate expenses in every way possible. One of my first strategies was to purchase most of the products for my new apartment on a used basis.

By purchasing everything used, I could save hundreds of dollars on each product. I felt this was the best move for me to make until I had more funds at my disposal. One of my purchases was a used washing machine from my parents.

They said that the washing machine pad had worn down, but otherwise the machine worked perfectly. I had no idea what to do about a worn washing machine pad or what problems could arise, so I accepted the machine with no restraints.

Despite my previous lack of knowledge, I soon realized why my parents were willing to part with their old washing machine. During each cycle, the machine would create a loud banging noise during operation.

Because of this loud noise, I found it extremely difficult to concentrate when I was in the house. I tried to combat this issue by running the washer when I knew I would not be home, but this quickly grew to cause me more trouble than it was worth.

My neighbors would complain about the noise my machine made, and they demanded that I fix the noise or throw the machine away.

I could not afford to throw the machine away and purchase a new machine, so I tried to find a lower cost alternative to repairing my machine. I used the information I had received from my parents earlier, and I looked into the possibilities for repairing the machine.

To my surprise, there was a low cost alternative to my problem. I would be required to wait for the product to arrive in the mail, but it was a proven accessory that could eliminate my washing machine noise. It used this substance that absorbs the vibrations made by the machine, so I do not have to worry about hearing my washing machine make noise anymore.

The product slides onto the bottom of the washing machine and takes less than two minutes to install. Once I slide the product on, my installation is completed.

This was a great way for me to replace my worn out washing machine pad. I did not have to pay hundreds of dollars to fix my machine, and that was definitely a great situation for me.

Locate Washing Machine Accessories

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

When I was in college, I lived in a fraternity house. I was the individual in charge in maintaining the quality of the house and I was responsible with fixing anything that might breakdown over the course of the semester.

One of these items that gave me constant trouble was the washing machine. It was an older model that we had used for years.

Due to issues that arose during the course of the year, I was responsible with finding the necessary washing machine accessories to fix the washer. I found that some washing machine accessories were difficult to find in all stores, so I did my best to find the best solution to my problems.

The washing machine in our house was located in the basement of the building, so it was located at a comfortable distance from our rooms. Because of this, no one really had to listen to the loud banging noise made by the washer.

It did not become an issue until we opened up a study room in the basement. With this study room located next to the laundry room, it was difficult for people to study.

I did not have enough money in my main budget to purchase a new washer, so I had to find a less expensive alternative. I went online and researched various products that could be used for stopping washing machine vibrations.

To my disappointment, I was not able to find anything local, so I could not look at any of the products that I thought about purchasing.
I decided to rely on user reviews of the products in question. I found that one of the most popular products was called Silent Feet.

This was considered an industry leader that used similar ingredients for their products that NASA used. This products main purpose was to absorb shock, so this was perfect for my washing machine problem.

According to the testimonials, Silent Feet slides on easily and takes just a couple minutes to install. Once the Silent Feet are installed, I do not have anything else to worry about.

This made my job extremely simple because now I did not have to face scrutiny for the loud washing machine. Once I installed Silent Feet, I no longer heard the washer make the loud banging noise. As far as washing machine accessories go, Silent Feet was the best product for my situation.

Get New Washer and Dryer Accessories

Friday, November 27th, 2009

I was visiting my parents during the holidays one year, mainly to see if they needed any help with everything they had going on at home. As I was looking around the house for things that might have needed to be replaced or fixed, I noticed that there was a loud banging noise in the house.

At first, I had no idea what the noise could be coming from. The television was not on, and besides my parents there was no one in the house. I soon found out that my parents were in need of washer and dryer accessories because of their aging equipment.

By purchasing washer and dryer accessories, I should have been able to fix the noise problem.
When I inquired with my parents about the noise, they had mentioned that it was their old washer that was making a racket.

When I told them that I would gladly purchase a new washer and dryer for their home, my parents quickly refused. They did not wish to replace the machine because it was something they had grown accustomed to. They also did not wish to learn how to use a new machine.

My only option was to find a way to fix their machine.
I went online hoping that I would find a suitable solution to my problem. I read that it is not unusual for washers to begin making noises are a few years of use. This is because of the continuous vibrations from the machine.

The cushion on the feet of the machine had been worn down to the point to where the machine had direct contact with the floor. Because of this direct contact, I was hearing the loud banging noise.

Another issue that arose with the worn out cushions was that the washer would move while it was running.

It began to also hit the wall and began to damage the laundry room. This was a big issue because now we would have to pay for repair costs to the house. I found a product online that was perfect for my problem.

The product was not available everywhere, but it was an easy solution to my problem. It would slide onto the bottom of my washer and prevent it from moving. The material would save me from hearing the banging noise as well. Thanks to the washer and dryer accessories website, I was able to eliminate the noises in my parents’ home.

Purchase a New Washing Machine Pad

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

I own a home on a college campus that I rent out during the school year. It is a great source of income and my mortgage payments are easily made through the rent I charge.

The only drawback is that I am responsible for regular maintenance on the property and have to pay for any repairs made. If there is damage to the property then my tenants would have to pay for the repairs. Despite my maintenance policy, there are some damages that simply go unnoticed during an inspection.

One of these damages that I did not notice was my worn down washing machine pad. I did not know if this was the result of one of my tenants, but I knew that I had to purchase a new washing machine pad or a new washing machine. I decided to look into both options and chose the least expensive route.
The matter first came to my attention when my new tenants complained about noise from the washing machine. I asked if it still worked, and they said yes, other than the noise there was no problem.

The noise, however, kept them from being able to concentrate on schoolwork. I offered to move the washer to the basement and see if that would help eliminate the noise. The washer was not very old; it just became more worn down because it had more use than most washers traditionally do.

To my dismay, moving the washer did little to eliminate the noise. It still rang throughout the house, so my tenants were getting frustrated. I decided to see if I could have a mechanic check out the machine and figure out the problem.
After an inspection, the mechanic said that I needed to buy a washing machine pad that would eliminate the noise from washer. According to the mechanic, there were many products I could buy, and he had personally purchased a product called Silent Feet that had proven to be extremely effective in his home.

It was a product that slid onto the actual “feet” of the washer and would help to eliminate the noise that my tenants hear on a daily basis. It was a relatively cheap product to buy, especially when I would compare the cost to buying a new washer.

I took his advice and purchased Silent Feet. To my amazement, these little pads actually stopped the washer from making noise. It took me five minutes at the most to install, and now my tenants have no more complaints.

Silent Feet Leads All Washing Machine Accessories

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

When I was growing up, I was required to do my own laundry. This was supposed to teach me to get ready for when I would be on my own, but it quickly turned into my parents pushing some of the household chores onto me.

At the time, I did not have any issues with doing these chores because it helped me get the things I needed to complete out of the way. A couple years ago, I was back home visiting my parents, and they asked that I do laundry for them like I had in the past.

Of course I objected, but eventually I decided to help them with their laundry. I soon found that their washer needed new washing machine accessories, but no one had ever purchased them. Washing machine accessories would be easy to find, we just needed to go and look for the right ones.
I realized that they needed new parts because their washer was rattling and banging against the floor and wall. This was extremely noisy and it kept me from enjoying my time back home.

I had inquired with my parents on what the problem was, but they did not know. They knew that the washer was making the noise, but other than the noise it was working perfectly so they did not look into fixing it. They could not afford purchasing a new washer because the parts necessary would be too expensive.

Their only option it seemed was to suffer through the noise. They did not wish to find a solution to their problem because it was too stressful. I offered my help because I could not tolerate that noise any longer. I went online and looked into what would help eliminate the noise.
I found that there were washing machine accessories that would help to eliminate noise and help me save my parents hundreds of dollars. I found that there was a product called Silent Feet that was the industry leader in eliminating washing machine noise.

I was surprised to find that it also came with a lifetime warranty, so my parents would almost never have to worry about noise from their washer again. I ordered Silent Feet and once they arrived, installed them onto my parent’s washer.

I was surprised to find that it was an extremely easy installation, so I did not have to waste much time doing so. They worked to perfection and my parents no longer had to listen to the loud banging noise from their washer.

Find New Washer and Dryer Accessories

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I was recently in the market for new washer and dryer accessories because my washer has been making a lot of noise.

Whenever it is running, it is difficult to get any work completed and I usually leave the house because the noise is unbearable.

My washer is old, but not old enough that I need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to replace it, so I wanted to pursue other options. I had decided that the first step was to search for washer and dryer accessories that did not break the bank. I had heard that some of these accessories could help me achieve my goal of eliminating the noise from my washer.
I knew that the noise came from my washer’s parts simply being too old. Like most material, the “feet” of the washer had worn down due to continuous use.

Because they had worn down, I was no hearing the dreadful rattling throughout my house. I had heard about this successful product that could help me reach my goals of eliminating the noise. These pads were manufactured using a compound called Sorbothane®.

Sorbothane® is a type of polymer that absorbs the noisy and harmful vibrations that my washer makes. It is a unique material that is manufactured solely for its vibration-isolating properties. It is recorded to have a shock absorption rate of ninety-four point seven percent.

This material is also highly recommended because it is trusted for use by NASA, NASCAR, and the U.S. Military. Upon hearing that information, I felt comfortable purchasing Silent Feet.
Its main component significantly reduces vibrations, so it helps to eliminate noise and structural damage to my house and the machine. Silent Feet is the industry leader in this department. I looked through various websites and user comments on the product and I was impressed with what I found.

Because Silent Feet can be used on almost every model washer available, it is available for use to a large population. It comes with a lifetime warranty, so it is relatively easy to replace the products if it is necessary.

During my search for washer and dryer accessories, I could find nothing more reliable and recommended available to the public. I was glad to see that because it ended up being a great purchase.

I was able to eliminate all of the noise from my washer, so I have made living at home much more enjoyable.

Silent Feet Best among Washing Machine Accessories

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

My family and I live in a small home. Because of the size of our home, any noise is easily heard throughout the house. To make matters worse, our older washing machine makes a lot of noise whenever it runs.

It has numerous worn down parts, so it rattles around while it runs. It has gotten to the point where we leave the house whenever we decide to do laundry. We do not have any washing machine accessories, so all of the parts in the machine are getting old.

We could not afford purchasing a new washer, so I went to a specialty store to see if I could find a solution to my problem. I had heard that this store had numerous washing machine accessories, so I was hoping to find an adequate solution to my noise problem.
When I arrived at the store, I was immediately greeted by a sales representative. I explained my problem and to my enjoyment, they had a solution to my problem. They recommended that I purchase Silent Feet for my washing machine.

According to the sales representative, the materials used in Silent Feet absorb the vibrations from the machine, so I will not have to hear any more noise when my clothes are washing! By purchasing this accessory, my family and I will no longer be bothered from the noise that our washer makes.

We will no longer have to leave the house whenever we do our laundry. I was informed that Silent Feet has been proven to outperform its competitors in noise reduction by over sixty percent. This was a major selling point for me when I made my purchase decision.
I was eventually convinced to purchase Silent Feet because it was the more affordable option with a great track record. I checked reviews for the product online, and I was impressed to see that almost all of the reviews were extremely positive.

The product was supposed to be easy to install, so I was more willing to purchase it. I felt it would best serve my family if I purchased the Silent Feet instead of a new machine, I would save hundreds of dollars. Silent Feet also comes with a lifetime warranty, so I am guaranteed to be able to replace it if I have any issues.

I was glad that I made the decision to buy washing machine accessories because it has made my house much quieter and makes doing laundry possible.

Eliminate Your washing Machine Vibration

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

In my experience, it is extremely annoying to have a loud washing machine. For many of us, it is a convenience to have a personal washing machine.

Many families or individuals have to use a public laundry service to get their clothes and linens cleaned. In my situation, I have my own washer and dryer, but they are both fairly old. I purchase both of them over fifteen years ago, but they have worked well over the years.

The only issue I have encountered is the noise from the machine. I have not found a suitable way to account for this inconvenience, so I have continued to use the machine without much concern for the problem. The washing machine vibration was the least of my worries.

I wanted to see if a replacement machine was worth buying. The washing machine vibration was extremely annoying for my family, but we could not afford to purchase a new machine. We needed to find a replacement part to fix our machine.
We went to the store where we purchased the washer and dryer and asked about potential solutions to our problem. According to the sales representative, we would not have to replace our machines.

This was surprising to hear because her job was to convince us to buy new machines. According to the sales representative, we would be able to purchase a device that would help my family reverse the age of our washer and dryer.

This device was used to replace the worn out parts on the washer that helped to prevent the noise. Because this part had worn down on the washer, we were experiencing noise on a regular basis. The sales representative offered many options for us to purchase a replacement part, but we did not want to jump into the process. We decided to wait and see if our machines would stop making the noises.
Our first step was to add less clothing to each load in the washer and dryer. To our disappointment, this did not work. We thought it would help us determine if any replacement was needed for the parts, but the same noises were present. We decided shortly after that a replacement was probably necessary for our success.

We purchased a replacement part for our worn out noise reduction part and tested it. To our surprise and eventual enjoyment, the part worked to success. We did not experience any more noise for many years.

It was a great purchase and I recommend it to anyone looking for a new noise reduction part for their washer or dryer.
