But hold the excitement for one second. Portable washer dryer combos maybe the best types of washers in the market but they are certainly no superman-or in this case, superwashers.

If you want them to keep on working like new for a long time, they need care and maintenance that only you can give.

So here are the 5 essential tips that can prolong the life of your washer and dryer combo:

1. Reign on the use of detergent. Most of us seem to think that the more soap suds we see, the better its cleaning powers is. But the truth is, even though we are only using a modicum amount of detergent, it still cleans just as well especially if you are using a washer dryer that has unparalleled cleaning powers. A quarter of a cup of detergent is adequate in washing your clothes. More than that may already leave too much residues behind and these residues will collect overtime and will cause your washer and dryer to smell.

2. Clean the lint filter every after using your washing machine. Although you are using a ventless portable washer and dryer, the lint trapped in the lint filter may still cause fire in case there is too much heat in your dryer.

3. Use the caster when you are moving your washer. The caster will help you a lot in transferring your portable washer and dryer without bumping it on walls and bruising it whilst transferring.

4. Do not overload your washer and dryer with clothes. Even though there is still some more space left, curb the urge to dump in more clothes. Allot some space for your clothes to move around. This way they won’t come out wrinkly and all the detergent will be evenly washed off. In addition to that, water will drain better.

There are some people who really maximize the space in their washer and this is why they complain that their clothes come out tangled and wrinkly. The water is not also properly drained so moisture is left inside causing bacteria to propagate.

5. Hand wash clothes that has been exposed to flammable materials like gasoline or paint before dumping it in your washer. Better yet, do not use your washer and dryer when cleaning clothes that has been exposed to such materials. If there are residues of gasoline or any flammable material left, it may cause mishaps when you are using your dryer. Although it is unlikely to happen, it is still better to be cautious.

Just keep these tips in mind and you will surely prolong the life of your very efficient portable washer dryer combos. It is better to take care of it so you won’t have to spend more money buying something new or spend a lot of time looking for another washer that can work perfectly for you.
