Can I stack my washing machine on top of a dryer? No, you can only stack a dryer on top. Washing machines are too heavy, especially when full of water and wet clothes. They also vibrate more during operation as their spin speeds are higher, increasing the risk of accidents if stacked.

Not all dryers can be wall mounted. In fact, if you are looking to mount one on your wall it is best to steer clear from condenser dryers. They tend to be too heavy to withstand mounting. All dryers that can be mounted come with a mounting kit, so your dryer is nice and secure on the wall.

Mounted like an upper cabinet in a kitchen, done so upside down to make the controls more accessible. Actually it would make the drum a bit more accessible too it would seem. Sort of a DIY, two piece, laundry center. Fisher and Paykel did have dryers that allowed upside down mounting.

In order for your dryer to function properly, it must be on level ground. If you have any doubt whether the floor in your garage or laundry room is flat beneath your appliance, use a leveling device to check this out.

Only vented dryers can be wall mounted – condenser and heat pump condenser dryers are too heavy and will need to be put on the floor or stacked on top of a washer.

Wondering how long you should keep cucumbers on your eyes? It’s all up to you! Typically, it’s best to leave chilled cucumber on eyes for around 10-15 minutes to help with de-puffing. Once the cucumber is no longer cold, it’s probably about time to toss the slices.

Potato Slices No fresh cukes around? Try potato slices instead. They actually have a leg up on cucumbers because they stay cooler longer, which helps with puffiness.

For an added boost, use chilled tea bags. Black tea contains caffeine that helps narrow blood veins, and green tea possesses powerful antioxidants that soothe under-eye bags. Cucumbers contain antioxidants and flavonoids that are said to reduce swelling, redness and irritation.

Using a warm tea bag compress on the eyelid for 10–15 minutes four to six times per day may help unclog the blocked duct. Relieving dry eyes. Dry eyes occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly.

The tannin in tea bags has been proven to reduce swelling (baggy under eyes) and discoloration (dark circles). Either put your used tea bag in the fridge or let it cool down for a half hour. Then damp the tea bag over your eyes for 10-15 minutes. If you’re looking for that extra oomph, try using a caffeinated tea bag.

Instead of using a warm cloth compress, you can use a warm tea bag. Black tea works best because it helps reduce swelling and has some antibacterial properties. Add boiled water to a mug, then drop a tea bag in it, as if you were making tea to drink.

DEAL WITH INSECT BITES: Tea contains antimicrobial and astringent properties. Press a moist tea bag against infected skin and it will reduce inflammation and infection.

Green tea is a great addition to the hot water compress as it reduces swelling and has antibacterial properties. Place the teabag compress over your stye for over 10 minutes a few times every day, until the stye is treated.
