As the summer draws to a close and the weather starts to cool off, the electric dryer will be in tasked a lot more than usual. In certain instances, such as cleaning denim or washing delicate garments, we recommend hanging your clothes or taking them to the dry cleaner. To maintain the appliance it is advisable to clean and repair your dryer before winter. Here are a few tips from our pros on how you might get the most out of your dryer and treat your clothes right:

For cleaning your dryer put in some dryer balls. People are often dubious of this seemingly strange technique, but we’ve found that it really works! If you put a pair of wool balls (there are actually dryer balls made from several materials) in with your clothes, the balls knock apart the materials that usual clump together in wet lumps. This allows for a more even, effective dry that is easy on your unit. Your clothes will thank you too!

Follow the maintenance steps in the manual, never overload your dryer as it is a common cause for dryer breakage. Deep clean the drum and lint as lint continually builds up in the dryer. If it accumulates for long, it can damage your dryer or even cause a fire. Using a vaccum cleaner clean out lint trap at least twice a year. Also replace the ventilation ducts. Majority of the dryers’ vent ducts are made of aluminum or plastic. The material is to ensure flexibility in the replacement of the vent ducts. And finally do not toss just about everything into the dryer. The dryers are only designed to dry fabric and not any other material. Some people satiate their curiosity by trying to put the wrong things like toys, purses, or wigs. Don’t spoil your dryer through the try and error game.

As there is a a plethora of choices on the market today, choosing the right mattress is often a daunting task. A traditional or classic spring mattress, also known as an open spring, open coil or Bonnell spring mattress, provides great value for money as well as comfort. A Comfortable Classic Spring Mattress makes for the perfect option for any bedroom. Coming in a variety of sizes and comfort grades, you’ll be sure to find a spring mattress that suits your needs.

While the number and size of coils is a factor in how comfortable and supportive your mattress is, the top layer is also important to consider. For ultimate comfort, we’d recommend looking for a mattress with a memory foam or gel top layer (known as a hybrid mattress) – that way you get a little of the pressure relief of a foam mattress, but with the support and bounce of springs. Other mattresses have a plush or polyfoam top layer to provide that softness. The quality, material and thickness of these can make a huge difference to the feel of the mattress.

Innersprings are known for being bouncy, and you tend to feel as if you are perched on top of the bed, rather than sinking into the bed (which is what memory foam does). The lift of a pocket sprung mattress means they offer you excellent mobility, so you can move around easily on them. More expensive mattresses will shape to your bodily contours and provide a perfect combo of springiness and conformity. These tend to appeal to back pain sufferers, who don’t like the sensation of sinking in, which you can get with a some memory foam mattress. 

A dumpster is a type of movable waste container designed to be brought and taken away by a special collection vehicle, or to a bin that a specially designed garbage truck lifts, empties into its hopper, and lowers, on the spot. The word is a generic trademark of Dumpster, an American brand name for a specific design. The main purpose of a dumpster is to store garbage until it is emptied by a garbage truck and disposed of. Dumpsters can be used for all kinds of waste, or for recycling purposes. Most dumpsters are emptied weekly by a hired garbage removal service. Now what about dumpster bin weight capacity?

A 10 yard container typically holds 2 to 3 metric tonnes, or 1800 to 2700 kgs. 10 yard dumpster rentals are used when removing heavy material like concrete, bricks, and sand. A 20 yard dumpster container typically holds 3 metric tonnes, or 6,000 pounds. 20 yard dumpster rentals are perfect for seasonal yard cleanouts, small remodels, roofing projects, and decluttering. A 30 yard dumpster container typically holds 3 to 4.5 metric tonnes, or 7,000 to 10,000 pounds. 30 yard dumpster rentals are used for mid-sized cleanouts, light demolition debris, and whole-room remodels.

A 40 Yard container holds around 4.5 to 5.5 metric tonnes, or 10,000 to 12,000 pounds. 40 yard dumpster rentals are used for large renovations, major cleanouts, and construction projects. Weight limits for temporary dumpsters vary based on the type of debris you’re throwing out and the size of the container. 10 tons, or 20,000 pounds, is the max weight that the average dumpster truck can haul, but limits will often fall between 2-6 tons, or 4,000-12,000 pounds, to meet local road safety restrictions.
