As mums, we are always on the lookout for appliances that will take care of our family’s needs.

Which is why we were thrilled to announce the Kleenmaid product review where we delivered an Eco Sensitive Washing Machine (LW8014) to a group of mums to trial and review at home!

Here’s why all mums will love the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine …

Detergent Mix and Spray

The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine mixes the detergent with water before spraying into the drum of the machine – a unique process which ensures the detergent gently yet thoroughly penetrates the fibres of the clothes being washed. This also means that the water temperature can be lowered by up to 50%, which means less wear on fabrics and allows whites and colours to be washed together.

Dynamic Drum Design

The holes in the drum of a washing machine play an important role in improving the gentleness and effectiveness of your daily wash. Kleenmaid’s Dynamic Drum Design cleverly optimises the number, shape and size of the holes for optimal cleanliness and has a counter rotating drum to ensure your clothes don’t get tangled.

Spiral Curved Agitators

The spiral curved shaping of the agitators in the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine continuously yet gently moves the wash load into the centre of the drum, guaranteeing a comprehensive and total clean every time.

Strong and silent

The unique ‘boomerang’ design on the side walls gives the machine’s cabinet strength and keeps noise to a minimum. This means, you can do your washing at a convenient time, while being sure you won’t wake your little ones enjoying forty winks.

Eliminates allergens and bacteria

Using the ‘Allergy Safe’ program, seven allergens and four bacteria types can be eliminated, giving you the peace of mind that your wash is as sanitary as possible.

15 fully customisable wash programs

The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine lets you select from three different stain levels, multiple spin speeds, cold to 90°C wash temperatures as well as easy ironing options, giving you a customised wash every time. There’s even the option of a 12 minute rapid wash for when you need clean clothes, fast.

Eco logical system

The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine weighs the wash load at the start of each new cycle, meaning you’ll not only save water but also energy.

Safety and protection

To protect your Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine, the LW8014 comes with an impressive list of controls including excessive foam control, overflow protection, multiple failure detection, child safety lock and 3 year full parts and labour warranty, which is supported by Kleenmaid’s highly skilled national service network.

  • All I do is washing

    I would like to review the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine as mine is on its way out and with a large family trying to do washing my hand is going to take me forever to get through. Plus the thought of trying to wash sheets by hand is putting me off. This machine sounds really good and I like the fact that the hot water can be up to 50% less and I also like that the detergent mixes with the water before spraying into the drum that makes more sense to me. I would really like to try out this product and hope I get an opportunity to do so.

  • No more dog smell!

    I threw my dog's bed and blanket into the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive washing machine. I admit I hadn't washed either for some months so they absolutely stank and were covered in dog hair! The dog bed looked a bit lumpy from washing when it came out (I put the spin on 800rpm so it was pretty wrung out and nearly dry!) but it shook back into shape easily. Both the dog bed and the blanket came out smelling nothing like dog, just a lovely 'just washed' smell, and all the dog hairs were gone. Lots of room in the machine too, it easily held the dog bed and the blanket with room to add more. Dog not happy with his clean bed, but I am very happy!

  • 12 minute wash cycle

    I had a last minute sports uniform 'emergency' today- i.e. my son wanted his sports uniform to take to school, it was at the bottom of the clothes basket wet and smelly. Did the 12 minute wash option on the machine, chucked the clothes in the drier and they were ready in about half an hour!

  • Dust Mite Allergy Benefit

    My old top loader had the hot water plumbed into the machine, meaning I could only wash to around 50 deg C. I have always hot washed all bedding and towels due to my sons severe allergies to dust mites. Having washed towels and bedding in the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive machine he has commented on feeling better when waking in the morning, and being less reliant on his preventer medication. I have been washing the towels and bedding at 70 deg C, and using the extra rinse cycles. It is great to think his need for medication has dropped. The bedding and towels look and smell cleaner than they ever have in the past! An added bonus of the machine is the hot rinse that can be done when washing at lower temperatures - this ensures all clothing and bedding can be adequately treated. Customised wash setting like these are just not available with other machines.

  • Dry Clean Only? Not with the new Kleenmaid!

    I decided to test the new machine on some winter jackets that needed freshening up. One was a wool blend coat, the other a feather filled jacket. I would never have put these in any top loader, but decided to put them in the Kleenmaid eco sensitive machine on the hand wash cycle. The jackets came out like new! I was so impressed that this machine - it will certainly cut down on my dry cleaning bill in the future!

  • Suits washed

    I thought I would give the hand wash cycle a go and put two school blazers in for a wash over the weekend- I usually dry clean them but they came up really well. Grime on collars gone and tomato sauce on a sleeve no longer there! No more trips to the dry cleaner!

  • The dreaded rugby shirts after a rainy Sunday game

    Since we have to test the new Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive we volunteered to clean the rugby jerseys after a Sunday game in the rain and mud. Yet again the machine did not disappoint. The setting for extra dirty, combined with the extra rinse cycle was great. I love how the machine can be so easily programmed to suite the wash that you require. Attached are some photos so you can judge for yourself.

  • Kleenmaid - old versus new

    Having previously owned (and loved) a Kleenmaid top loader washing machine, I was very excited to be selected to trial the new Eco Sensitive washing machine. The old Kleenmaid was reliable, easy to use and always gave a great wash. I wondered how the new machine would compare - I was not disappointed! The Eco Sensitive is again easy to use, and provides the added advantages of being able to customise the wash cycles depending on the wash need. There is the short 12 minute cycle, the versatile 60 minute / 60 deg C cycle and the cotton cycle. My clothes are emerging cleaner than they have in the old machine, without the need for soaking. The kids school shirts look like new with the grubby collars and cuffs white again! I am looking forward to finding out all the features of this machine over the next few weeks!

  • 60 at 60

    So I've been trialling the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive machine for about 2 weeks and during that time I've probably done about 14 loads of washing, and I've been using all of the different programs to work out what works for me and my family. Day to day the program I'm using the most is the 60 degrees for 60 minutes cycle. It's quick and means I can get a couple of loads done in the evening, ready to hang out the next morning. I change the temperature to cold for my coloured washes, and love how you can change the temperature even when the cycle has started! My next load is going to be the dog bed and blanket- not sure if it has a special program (hand wash?). Watch this space!

  • 1400 spin option is great

    My current machine spins to 1200 (?rpm I think it's called!), which is fine in summer. But at this time of year and for the next 4-5 months I find I need to finish the washing off in the clothes dryer, as the shorter days and less sun means my clothes don't completely dry. I've found that putting a load of washing in the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive with the 1400 spin option (which is the default spin speed) the clothes come out of the machine drier and they are completely drying on the line- so no double handling of washing, and I'm saving on my energy bill!

  • Just brilliant

    This machine is so quiet, I had to really listen to hear it! The allergy wash is particularly good as 2 of my kids suffer from allergies. This wash eliminates the nasties causing allergies. There 15 wash programs, every size and washing level is catered for. And it weighs your washing so it knows how much water to use, which saves water consumption. So many safety and protection pluses in place. An all over excellent machine, super impressed

  • I love my new washing machine, thankyou Kleenmaid.

    After using my 30 year old washing machine I was lucky enough to be in a position to purchase the new Eco Sensitive washing machine from Kleenmaid. I am so impressed the spin dry is amazing cuts the actual drying time for sure. To be able to choose between all the different wash settings/options is a real treat for me. I no longer run from my ugly laundry, it now looks amazing so modern and sleek.

  • My amazing new washing machine, thank you Kleenmaid.

    I recently took advantage of the Kleenmaid offer of saving $1000 off a new Eco Sensitive, I am so glad I did. I love it after using a very old washer for the last 30 years. I especially love that my towels in particular don't take as long to dry, the spin dry on this washer is amazing. Love all the different settings/options. My laundry is looking quite sexy, so sleek I don't run from my laundry anymore.

  • Kleenmaid

    Wow this is a great washing machine to Iove. The Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing Machine is sensitive to all my washing needs. the 12 minute eco cycle is so great when you really need something washed in a hurry (like a forgotten choir shirt or gym gear that we have washed in a hurry).

  • 12 minute cycle

    Last night there was a need for sports clothes washed in a hurry - what a saviour to have the 12 minute cycle. Not even my old top loader had a cycle this quick, and the wash was fantastic. The clothes came out much dryer than they would have in the old machine, meaning they could dry overnight and be ready for the next day at school. Best of all - it was not me but my daughter wheo had to operate the machine having never operated it (or any other machine for that matter) as both myself and my husband were out. It is pleasing that the machine is so simple to use, but so effective in it's wash.

    Every parent loves when the crisis is adverted!

  • Kleenmaid Front loader ve Kleenmaid top loader

    I was always hesitant to buy a front loader, as I though, "I don't have time to wait hours for a wash .. I'm a busy mum!". Since moving out of home I have only ever owned 2 machines ( in 23 years). I owned a Kleenmaid that sadly died after 18 years, and would happily have purchased another, as it never missed a beat. Unfortunately Kleenmaid were not available in Australia at that time. I replaced it with another good quality top loader. My top loader cleaned the clothes well, and more importantly QUICKLY! Having trialled the Kleenmaid eco sensitive I am stunned to find that there is a 30 minute cycle which cleans better than my top loader! There is no residue of soap powder on my darks, due to the pre-mixing of the detergent, and the clothes come out less creased, making ironing easier! By not having a centre agitator, I am impressed by the amount of clothes I can fit in. Best of all, being a Kleenmaid machine, I am assured of its reliability long term.

  • It will be like losing a new best friend :(

    Tomorrow is the sad day that I have to say goodbye to the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive Washing machine. When it was installed the guy installing said to me " the lady before you didn't want us to take it". Now I fully understand why. This machine is quiet, gentle on your clothes but so effective in cleaning. It has a great range of programmes and is so versatile that you can tailor your wash to suit the stain level and the temperature. The times of the wash adjust to this so if the stain level is low than the wash time is reduced. This is one clever machine ( or maybe we can give the designers the credit). I would highly recommend this machine without hesitation.

  • Dare to Doona

    So it's that time of year when the doona change is happening. I would normally get my doona dry cleaned but seeing as its an 8kg machine i decided to give it a whirl. The doona fitted in well with space. I used a cotton cycle and sat back and awaited the results. My doona is beautifully clean and smells so fresh. Once again I'm really impressed with the results :)

    My older sister has one of these washing machines and she has two little ones like me. She loves the child safety element on the machine and I admit I'm jealous as my kids try and fiddle around with our washing machine. She also loves that her clothes wash so well as her little girls love to paint. I have to admit everyone in her family always have well presented clothes

    After a weekend of sports us mothers can dread the cleaning of the sports wear especially if your the mum that has the 20 rugby shirts to wash ! Even the muddiest shirt was sparkling after the wash and the cycle only took one hour and twenty. Very effective on those tough stains

    The dial and settings are so straight forward to use and select I even got my teenager to put on a load of washing. Also being that the display is digital its so easy to work out. Who would of thought a washing machine would spark a teenagers interest ! The hanging the washing out by the teenager was not executed as well as the wash though ;)

  • Allergy Safe Cycle

    Having a child with eczema and dust mite allergies and knowing that this cycle is helping the symptoms is giving me peace of mind when I tuck him in his bed at night in the fresh clean sheets. The allergy safe cycle works up to 4 kgs so you can get those bed sheets in and know that they are super clean.

    When you pull up in your driveway and you can smell your clean washing now that's fresh ! I am using exactly the same powder and softener as usual but the clothes are just so much fresher. Even on the shortest of washes this is the case. I'm blown away by the effectiveness of this washing machine.

Article 7 Simple Ideas That’ll Save You Hours Every School Week

7 Simple Ideas That’ll Save You Hours Every School Week

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.

While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
