Who wants a washing machine with easy, real world, settings?
Soooo, I was thinking, (yes that is steam you see rising from between my ears)
What if washing machines had accurate and ACTUALLY helpful names for their wash cycles:
-
Refresh: you wore it for like 2 hours at a wedding 6 months ago and it's been in the closet since then. Smells like cheap liquor and stale closet paint. 20 minute cycle.
-
Everyday: The stuff you wear when you get off work. It doesn't really get dirty, but it begins to manifest its own scent. About a 30 minute cycle.
-
Easy work: You didn't really have a hard day, but you did wear this crap to work. Not too much of a stank developed. 25 minute cycle.
-
Hard day at work. Title says it all. 45 minute cycle.
-
Oopsie Poopsie. Just gross. Either you pooped your pants or worse... You wish you had, because your clothes would smell better. This wasn't a hard day at work, it was sheer and utter hell. 65-70 minute wash time, AND it will beep after 20 minutes to tell you to throw another pod into the drum.
-
CHILD'S and/or DOG'S clothing or bedding. Because you just don't know what to expect. It's the longest setting, only washes in HOT water, and will take 90 minutes, with 2 stops for extra pods.
What have I forgotten or missed?
