Laundry Room Essentials: Accessories for Your LG Appliances

There’s no class in school about setting up a laundry room. Often, a laundry room is just there when you move in, without you needing to plan or organise anything.

But if you’re setting up a laundry room in a new build or moving into a place with zero appliances or accessories, you might need a few tips on where to get stared.

So, we’ve put together a quick and helpful guide for laundry room essentials. We’ll cover everything from choosing the right appliances, to sorting out storage, to setting up your supplies.

Let’s get started.

Heat Pump Dryer

Have you ever needed something dried quickly? Or battled with the elements when trying to dry your clothes outside?

Heat pump dryers can be a helpful addition to many Australian households, especially during periods of wet or humid weather when outdoor drying is difficult. While many homes still use a clothesline, rainy days, winter conditions, or busy schedules can make it harder to rely on natural drying. A clothes dryer provides a convenient backup, allowing laundry to be dried quickly and reliably regardless of the weather.

Heat pump dryers are one of the most energy efficient types of dryers available. Instead of constantly heating new air, they recycle and reheat the warm air already inside the drum, which helps reduce electricity use. This design makes them cheaper to run than many traditional dryer types such as vented or condenser dryers and more environmentally friendly over time. Many heat pump models also dry clothes at lower temperatures, which can help protect fabrics while still delivering effective drying results.

Washer-Dryer Combos

Short on space? An all-in-one washer-dryer combo could be the right option for your laundry.

LG washer-dryer combos combine washing and drying in one convenient appliance, allowing you to complete your laundry from start to finish without moving clothes between machines. Their sleek, modern design helps them blend easily into compact spaces such as small laundries, apartments, or multipurpose rooms, making them ideal when space is limited.

All LG washer-dryer combos offer smart connectivity through the LG ThinQ app, allowing you to remotely monitor and control your laundry remotely for a more convenient laundry routine (in other words, loads washed and dried while you’re at work!).

LG Laundry Room Accessories

Laundry accessories can make every day washing tasks easier while also helping protect appliances over time.

For example, washing machine accessories such as hoses, filters, and stacking kits can improve how machines fit and function within a laundry space.

Stacking kits exist to allow a dryer to be safely installed above a washing machine, helping save space and reduce clutter in compact laundries. LG stacking kits even include convenient shelves that make it easier to transfer laundry between appliances.

Lint filters should be replaced regularly to maintain the best efficiency from your dryer, and installing new washing machine hoses can help to ensure your existing one doesn’t eventually wear down and cause leaks – or excessive water damage from a burst hose.

Our LG laundry accessories are designed to help enhance the functionality of laundry rooms while keeping the space organised and efficient.

Stacking Kits

Stacking kits allow you to safely place your dryer on top of your washing machine, helping save valuable floor space in smaller laundries. Our stacking kits also include a convenient pull-out shelf available on all models, that provides a handy surface for sorting or folding laundry. They are available in a range of colours to match your appliances for a coordinated look.

Hoses and Connectors

Washing machine and dryer hoses and connectors help ensure a reliable water supply and proper drainage during laundry cycles. These hoses connect the appliance to your household water taps and drainage outlets, and must be securely attached and tightened according to the installation instructions.

Keep in mind, having spare hoses or connectors on hand can be useful for quick replacements or maintenance if needed.

Lint Filters

Lint filters help capture small fibres, lint, and debris released from clothing during a wash. This prevents buildup inside the machine and helps protect internal components. Filter locations vary by machine type, as top loaders often have filters inside the drum, while front loaders may place them near the pump or drainage area.

Cleaning usually involves removing the filter, rinsing away lint, and replacing it. If you notice visible lint buildup, slower drainage, or clothes coming out with more residue than usual, it’s probably time to clean your filter. Regular cleaning helps keep the washing machine working efficiently.

FAQs

How often should I replace my washing machine filter?

Washing machine filters should be cleaned every 2–3 months to prevent drain issues and odours. If you have pets, wash heavy items, or have hard water, check it monthly. You only need to replace the filter if it is damaged, or permanently clogged.

Can I use any hoses with my LG washing machine?

Yes, you can use most standard-sized (3/4-inch FGH) water hoses with an LG washing machine. High-quality, stainless steel braided hoses are recommended for better durability.

Using LG laundry accessories provides advantages in performance, safety, and longevity for your appliances.
