My water heater is in my basement which stays really coldDuring the winter we run out of hot water quicker when all of us are taking showersWill a water heater blanket help?
Whites with whitespink sheets or some thing pink might want to continually be washed on my own in chilly waterWash the shag rug on my own with warm water and some bleach (no longer too a lot)And in basic terms rinse the sheets once more beneficial in chilly waterthey in many cases do all their bleeding in the first a million-2 washes.
All sheets should be laundered separately, never with towels (this causes pilling)Sheets should be washed with cold water and vinegar in the first wash cycle3/4 cup per medium loadThis helps to set the colourDetergent should not be Ultra cleaning power, this causes sheets to fadeUse 1/4 of what usually is recommended, sheets are not dirty, they only need freshening in cool water(brief wash cycle)Shake the wrinkles from the sheets before putting them in the dryer and always use a cool dryer setting to help prevent shrinkingFor cotton sheets remove from dryer, while still tumblingFlannel sheets will shrink 3, when dryingAlways wash flannel alone or fluff will be all over everything!
I don't think a water heater blanket would be of much help, hereThe temperature inside the heater is regulated by thermostatA water heater blanket might reduce the recovery time a bit, and would certainly save you some energy (money)Are the hot water pipes exposed in the basement? Insulating the pipes might make a significant improvementWith the pipes insulated, you'd be delivering hotter water to the shower, and your family members would use less of it.
Here is the simplest thing you can doWash only the sheets in Woolite for dark colors, in cold water on delicate cycle;-)
