Back in April, I commented on the size of appliances, especially the washer and dryer and how small they are in comparison to the beasts I had in the US. (Along with the fact I needed to purchase based on kilogram size.) We picked an 8.5 kg machine with the assurance our king size sheets would fit in the washer. So far...so good.
I never thought about the king sized mattress pad/protector and of course, it is time to wash it.
I thought about taking it to the dry cleaners to see if they would launder it. And as long as it would fit in their machine, the answer was yes.
Then I asked the price.
$30.
OK - I bought the mattress pad in 2004 (when we moved to Houston the first time) and paid $69 for it. (Yes - I still have the receipt.)
With this in mind, I decided to stuff it in the washer and see what happened. Worse case would be I would get to buy a new one. Probably time anyway after 8 years.
Good news - it worked just fine! I was able to stuff it in and get it washed and dried without paying for either someone else to do it or buying a new one.
The washer and dryer have passed their final test with flying colors!
