Laundry Tips with EXPO Markers

We absolutely love this life-changing laundry hack: Use Markers to write instructions and messages directly on your non-porous washer and dryer, free of brushed metal finishes.

What kinds of messages should I write?

Easy: Write down anything and everything you want to remind yourself or communicate:

• Teach others how to use the machine by writing short descriptions next to every button and knob.
• Include specific instructions for different types of loads, or fabric types.
• Write a message to remind someone to start an extra load or to remove clothing from the dryer.
• Write a checklist for all family members to follow.

You can easily remove or modify markings for each load, which keeps your family’s productivity at an all-time high.

Are all machines safe to write on?

Broadly speaking, yes! EXPO markings erase easily on most non-porous materials, including most metals, porcelain, melamine and glass. If you’re unsure about whether or not EXPO markings will erase from your washer or dryer, simply test it on a small, hard-to-see area before covering your machine in markings. Use an EXPO Dry Block Eraser, Soft Pile to erase markings.

Which markers should I use?

• Expo® Low Odour Dry Erase Markers, Chisel Tip and Expo Low Odour Dry Erase Markers, Fine Tip come in a spectrum of colours, so these are great for colour-coding.
• Choose Expo Neon Dry Erase Markers, Bullet Tip on darker machines.
• Use EXPO Low Odour Wet Erase Markers, Fine Point for instructions you don’t want to get accidentally erased.
• Choose Dry Erase Markers for easy access and easy storage. Plus, these markers include a handy eraser built in to the cap. (pictured)

EXPO markings are a brilliant option to communicate more effectively and keep those laundry loads moving.
