The first step in preparing your home for the holidays is to make sure your linens are fresh and clean for your guests. GE Appliances washers come equipped with a variety of settings to clean different fabric types and soil levels. For your everyday linens, such as bed sheets and towels, use the Normal or Heavy-Duty cycle. Some washers have a special setting for Bulky Bedding or Towels, too. And, GE Profile top-load washers and dryers have built-in anti-tangle technology that continuously reverses the drum movements minimizing tangles. So every item gets an even wash and dry. Using these settings ensures your bedding will be thoroughly clean, fresh, and soft for your short-term guests.

Holiday table settings often include family heirlooms or delicate linens should be handled with care. GE washers have a Delicate or Hand Wash cycle, perfect for precious items. This setting uses a slower spin speed and/or gentler agitation to prevent damage to delicate fabrics. Also, GE Profile top-load washers let you adjust the level of care for your most delicate items. Be sure to use a mild detergent to keep your linens looking their best without causing any wear and tear.

If you have furry family members at home, you know it’s challenging to keep pet hair off your linens. GE Profile UltraFast Washer/Dryer Combo is your pet hair remover washing machine and dryer. It comes with a Pet Hair Removal setting that’s a game-changer. This cycle removes pesky pet hair from fabrics before the wash. The high speed of the airflow system and tumble of the UltraFast Combo are uniquely designed to separate the hair from the clothes while the closed loop system allows air to collect the dry pet hair before pushing it into the filter for easy collection in the EZ Access lint filter. This is a must-have feature for those with pets that shed.

Many GE dryers offer Steam Mode which is great for ensuring your holiday linens are wrinkle-free and ready to decorate your home. If your linens are clean but need a little dusting off and de-wrinkling, put them in your dryer and select the Steam Refresh or Wrinkle Care cycle. The steam penetrates the fabric, relaxing fibers and eliminating wrinkles, so your linens come out wrinkle-free.
