Healthy Home Updates at the Merc!!

By Mandi 07/01/2021

Having a healthy home means a million different things to a million different people. One one side you find sanitized and sterile, for us, welllllllllll we lean a little heavier on the liveable chaos side of the spectrum (which is why having dirt walls doesn’t seem like the worst thing ever). Cleaning up needs to be quick and easy and Samsung has mastered the tools to do just that, coupled with the amazing customer service at The Home Depot? Heaven!

When we started the renovation on the Merc in 2018 we did a quick plumbing layout for the primary suite bathroom that wouldn’t happen until years later when we started phase 2 of the reno. By that time, I’d changed my mind about the layout completely and the plumbing had to be dug up and reworked. One bonus of that was that we nixed the tub, and that left us with a waterline that could be used for something else. We decided to put a stacked washer and dryer in the closet. 

We’ve had a Samsung washer and dryer from The Home Depot since we moved into the Merc 4 years ago, and have loved it. When it was time to pick out a new set, we were team Samsung all the way! It’s crazy that in just 4 short years the technology can get even better, especially if you use the Smart Things app.

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a stacked washer and dryer (remember our laundry room reno on our first house?) and one of the things I remember being annoyed with was the height of the control panel. It made it impossible for the kids to start their own loads in the dryer. Samsung’s new multi-control panel means that when your washer and dryer are stacked you can control the dryer from the washer panel. No step stool needed!

 

The new Samsung Smart Dial learns and suggests your favorite laundry cycles based on our day-to-day use and the washer has an extra-large 5.0 CU. FT. capacity and features CleanGuard antimicrobial technology to prevent odors inside the drum and for added protection on high touch surfaces. And there is a Speed Cycle that means I can wash and dry a load completely in under an hour.

I also love how easy the Smart Things app is to use. I can start and stop my washer and dryer from my phone, and create a custom laundry recipe based on what I’m washing that is send directly to the appliances! 

My favorite new duo is their Jet 70 cordless stick vaccum and Cleaning Station (look at Gilly in that pic!) We have adobe dirt galore + hair from the pups + normal life mess and most of the floor surfaces in the Merc are hard. Finding a stick vac has been an ongoing adventure that I finally feel like I’ve conquered. The suction on the Jet 70 is awesome and it works really well picking up small leaves, pet hair, dirt, and crumbs. I use it on our hard surface floors and low pile rugs (it’s a little too light weight to get stuff out of the thick shaggy rugs) 

When it’s time to clean out the bin, the Cleaning Station is where the magic happens. You just place the bin in the Cleaning Station and it opens and removes all of the treasures that your vacuum picked up. It then stores it until it’s time to change bags (similar to changing a vacuum bag). All of the dust, debris, and allergens that are picked up stay in the Cleaning Station and arent released into the air! 

You can find all of these innovative Samsung appliances at The Home Depot!
