Maytag is introducing its new front load washer and dryer with an Extra Power button that is specifically designed to tackle tough stains. According to Sarah Brandonisio, Maytag Communications Brand Manager, "Stain fighting can be complicated. Some stains dissolve best in hot water. Others in cold. Now, with the push of the Extra Power button, Maytag fights both in a single load."
Since research indicates that the majority of people who do laundry use the same wash cycle setting for different kinds of stains—and are generally unaware of the most effective ways to remove stains from clothing—his machine offers powerful assistance with the press of a button.
While the Extra Power button on the washer helps to target tough stains, even on delicates, the dryer extends time, heat and tumbling settings to completely dry thick fabrics, pockets, seams and hems.
