    Love in the spin cycle: How to turn laundry time into quality time

    (BPT) – Laundry day doesn’t have to be a drag. With a little teamwork — and the right technology — you and your partner can turn this everyday chore into a chance to connect.

    LG, ranked the #1 appliance brand in the U.S. and one of America’s “most reliable lines of home appliances” by Consumer Reports, wants to help couples see the sweet side of this shared responsibility. Here are four expert-backed tips to help you make the most of laundry time — together.

    1. Make it showtime

    Entertainment makes chores fly by. Pick a show you both enjoy, whether it’s a 30-minute sitcom or an hour-long drama, and watch while you sort, fold and fluff. It turns multitasking into a mini date night.

    Pro tip: Save that show exclusively for laundry time. It becomes your built-in incentive to get it done — and a ritual you’ll look forward to.

    2. Shop for new appliances together

    Replacing or upgrading your washer or dryer? Turn the task into a bonding moment. Shopping together lets you align on what matters most — whether that’s load size, energy efficiency or smart features that make life easier.

    Explore the LG WashTower™, a space-saving, ultra-large capacity washer and dryer with built-in AI that takes the guesswork out of laundry. That means no more bickering about the “right” settings — it adjusts to your fabrics for optimal care.

    Or check out the LG WashCombo™, an all-in-one washer-dryer that washes and dries a full load in under two hours — no transfers necessary. That’s just enough time to watch a movie together while your clothes come out clean and dry.

    3. Catch up while you sort

    Sorting laundry into whites, blacks, colors, delicates and bulky items can be tedious, but it’s the perfect chance to catch up. Exchange funny office stories, share a project you’re excited about, plan a date night or commiserate over a busy schedule.

    Pro tip: If you find any stains, make sure to spot-treat them! Is there a story behind that stain? Don’t be afraid to share.

    4. Set a laundry day

    Busy schedules can make household chores feel overwhelming. Set aside a consistent day and time to tackle laundry together. It keeps your household running smoothly and gives you both a predictable moment to reconnect.

    If you own LG laundry appliances, be sure to download the LG ThinQ app. You’ll be able to monitor and control your washer and dryer remotely, get maintenance alerts, and even download new wash cycles — all from your phone. It’s one more way to make chores smarter, easier and more collaborative.

    Laundry doesn’t have to be a chore

    These four simple tips can help you transform laundry day from a dreaded task into a shared ritual. It’s not just about clean clothes — it’s about building connection, one load at a time.
