WashSage methodology and editorial standards

Duvet & comforter fit checker

Checks label permission, machine permission, measured dry weight against entered limits, and physical fit. Unknown checks remain unknown. Tog and drum volume are never converted to kg.

Laundry load weight calculator

Adds quantities multiplied by published example weights or your measured dry weights. The interval reflects available published ranges only; it is not a statistical confidence interval. Items without references need a custom weight.

Washing machine capacity advisor

UK household categories from Hotpoint are mapped to broad editorial shortlist bands. Australia uses local Samsung household guidance, with differences between its household bands and general categories recorded. US uses published Whirlpool volume categories with an editorial workload shortlist, not a kg conversion. Measured kg loads override household ranges.

Bedding size converter

Uses cited brand reference dimensions. Exact unit conversion is 1 inch = 2.54 cm. The nearest match minimises absolute width plus length differences without rotation; it is not interchangeable bedding. Missing regional flat-sheet data requires custom measurements.

Bedding drying planner

Evaluates permission for the selected drying method and free dryer movement. Provides filling-specific precautions and qualitative environment notes. There is no validated universal drying-time model, so no numerical time is invented.

Laundry running cost calculator

Entered electricity use times price per kWh, plus entered water use divided by 1,000 times its tariff. Optional dryer use is included for each wash. A year is 52 weeks. Starting values are editable assumptions, not appliance measurements. Water units remain separate.

Care label decoder

Matches descriptions to referenced instructions and prioritises prohibitions over permissions. Official care-symbol graphics are not reproduced. Professional-care letters remain instructions for a cleaner.

Stain & fabric finder

Selects a sourced stain route for washable colourfast cotton/polyester. Delicate, unknown, non-colourfast or dry-clean-only items require garment-specific or professional advice. No chemical mixture is recommended.

Detergent dose lookup

Returns published product and condition entries without linear scaling. Cap volumes, hardness adjustments and concentration equivalents are never invented. Unsupported products require their own package chart.

Fabric care library

Shows bounded references for named garment or sheet categories. General fibre advice cannot replace the finished label, dye, finish or trim instructions.

Linen stock and dated availability

The linen par calculator multiplies your bed or guest quantities by your chosen rotations, adds the spare allowance to each category and size, and rounds up to whole items. Its starting values are examples you can change; no universal stocking recommendation is inferred from the formula.

Linen Forecast instead processes saved arrivals, checkouts and laundry jobs in chronological order, using each property's time zone, preparation buffer, linen rules and reserve. Shared-pool stock is counted once. A stay can release only linen that could have been allocated to it; an unavailable sheet cannot become future dirty stock.

Confirmed availability uses recorded clean stock. The projected path adds eligible expected laundry returns, which remain unconfirmed until receipt. Missing guest counts and missing inventory stay unresolved. Recalculate after changing bookings or stock, and verify actual availability before preparing a property. The worked example on the forecast page demonstrates this distinction without claiming a customer result or measured prediction accuracy.
