Does LG front loading wash machine qualify for tax credit?
For the federal 1040 tax form and energy credit the ITEM HAS TO MEET THE BELOW REQUIREMENTS for it to qualify for the credit on your 1040 federal income tax return.
For property purchased before June 1, 2009, homeowners generally can rely on the manufacturers' certifications and Energy Star labels that were available at the time for those products. Manufacturers have been advised that they should not continue to provide certifications for property that fails to meet the new standards.
Manufacturer's Certification Statement is a signed statement from the manufacturer certifying that the product or component qualifies for the tax credit.
Manufacturers should provide these Certifications on their website. Call the manufacturer, or search their website. EPA does not have copies of the Manufacturer's Certification Statement.
Taxpayers must keep a copy of the certification statement for their records, but do not have to submit a copy with their tax return.

What are the four categories clothes should be sorted into before being washed?
i don't know that there are necessarily four categories but you definitely need to split them into light and dark at least. I group mine into black\navy, whites that can be bleached, lights, and bue/green. i have alot of jeans so i wash them together. also i never wash towels with my clothes. i wash everything except the towels in cold water. it saves on your water bill and prevents shrinkage or fading. but towels need hot water in my opinion.

How do you clean a wool hat when the label says do not wash or dry clean?
Fill a basin with very hot water and add a squirt of a low-pH detergent like quilt soap or original liquid Dawn. Stay away from hand soaps, Woolite or laundry detergents. Carefully lay the article on top of the water and let it soak in for a while. To rinse, empty the basin, carefully remove the article (avoid squeezing, twisting, rubbing, or letting the article hang vertically), refil the basin with clean water, and lay the item back down in the basin to soak. Drain. Repeat rinsing if desired. Remove the article, let it drain until damp, then lay it as flat and naturally-positioned as possible on a dry bath towel or drying rack. Let sit undisturbed until completely dry.
Explanation: Wool is very fragile when wet; the fibers stretch, shrink, and break more easily. Washing involves considerable agitation which will destroy delicate crochets. Dry-cleaning is a misnomer - it is very wet indeed - it simply does not use traditional soaps or detergents.
However, the water itself, even hot, does not cause fulling, shrinking, stretching or other damage; agitation does. Rubbing, pulling, pushing, etc, even by water currents, are to be avoided. The water simply softens the fibers allowing the agitation to cause damage. A high pH exacerbates this, so very alkaline water or highly alkaline cleaning agents (like the glycerin in traditional soaps) will magnify the effects of any agitation.
So, the trick in cleaning wool is to do so as gently as possible, disturbing the fibers as little as possible while wet, using a cleaning agent with as neutral a pH as is feasible.

Can you wash the micro suede in the washing machine?
Yes, you can.
Here is how we did it:
Remove slip covers from pillow case and turn inside out in order to remove ALL the feathers that have loosened from the cases. (This took a very long time and was most tedious.) It is required as the feathers will disintegrate and leave small particles all over your micro suede. This was determined after our 1st of 3 loads.
Turn covers back to micro suede side out. Start washing machine on warm, delicate cycle and use a quarter cup liquid detergent and fully dilute the soap before inserting slip covers into wash. (I'm not sure why, but it seemed safer) We had 6 "seats" and 10 large pillows as backs and 2 small pillows. We opted for a 3 load task for shear safety. (Our couch was very expensive in our minds and simply wanted to run a test) Upon completion, line or hang dry. No shrinking occurred, THANK GOODNESS!
All the cases look brand new. One case did have some bubbling or slight separation between the micro suede and the internal poly-liner, but when placed back onto the formed pillow it stretched back out. I believe this informed us that we should probably not do this as a regular means of cleaning. The owner's manual brags about using warm water and a towel to clean every thing but with this many sleeves/cases it can be a most daunting task with many misses and uneven cleaning, plus the corners never clean well enough.
Be confident and take your time as it is worth it. Our couch looks almost brand new.
How do you capture water from a washing machine?
Saving the water is easy enough if you have a large enough container, such as a bath tub. Making sure never to allow the end of the water-out hose is never lower than the top of the machine[or the machine will empty itself on the floor] attach a grey water hose to the out hose and the other end into your tub. When the machine pumps out the water will empty into the tub,or any where else you direct it.

What does ensuite laundry as opposed to insuite laundry mean?
First, there is not insuite but there are en suite amenities when talking about homes. En suite is French and means connected so when describing laundry on site or on suite you are discussing whether the laundry is actually in the rental area (en suite) or outside the rented area but still on the property (on site)!
Does laundry dry better outside when it is cold?
