July 3, 2015 By Lena

It’s nice to have friends in clean places.

As I shared in a previous post, I’m happy to announce that Maytag Canada, a Whirlpool brand, is bringing its iconic powerful and dependable laundry appliances to the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, providing washers and dryers to ensure athletes not only perform at their best, but look great too. As the Official Appliance and Athlete Laundry Services Supplier for the Games, Maytag will furnish all athlete residences in the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletes’ Village with over 400 washers and dryers.

For years, Canadians have chosen Maytag appliances for their durability, reliability, and power. And today, Maytag wants you to check out the bright, clean uniforms that will be sported by a women’s soccer team at the Pan Am Games… one lucky reader will win 4 tickets to a Women’s Medal Soccer match on the night of Friday, July 24th, 2015!

Recognizing Our Biggest Champions: #ThankYouMom

June 19, 2015 By Lena

Shaping, molding and nurturing one of our most important resources – our children – is no small feat, and is one that requires patience, perseverance and passion. Through countless hours, Canadian mothers play many different roles, whether it’s bringing a forgotten lunch to school, or cheering on a dedicated athlete at her track meet.

Sometimes, that athlete grows up and becomes an Olympian.

Meet Brianne Theisen-Eaton, an Olympian from London 2012. She holds the Canadian record for the indoor pentathlon with a score of 4768 points, and competes in the heptathlon and women’s pentathlon.

And meet Kim Theisen, her mom. “I did my best to be there for Brianne so that she could dedicate herself to the sport she loved. I relied on quality products for my family and taught Brianne to do the same.”

P&G’s #ThankYouMom campaign is about giving athletes an opportunity to thank their biggest champions – their moms. As a proud sponsor of moms, P&G products are used and trusted by moms every day so moms can focus on supporting their children.

This year, P&G has partnered with Athletics Canada to provide members of their team competing at the upcoming Pan Am and Parapan Am Games in Toronto and their moms an assortment of P&G products from brands like Tide, Bounty, Pantene and Gillette.

To learn more, please join us for the #ThankYouMom Twitter Chat on Monday, June 22 at 8pm EDT.
ThankYouMom Graphic v6We’ll be joined by very special guest Brianne Theisen-Eaton (@btheiseneaton), who’ll share her own experiences and examples of her mom’s support and selflessness throughout the years.

“I was honoured when P&G approached me to become involved in the Thank You Mom program,” says Theisen-Eaton. “This program gives me a chance to shine the spotlight on my mom – one of my biggest champions.” …

We’ll Clean Up at the Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games!

June 16, 2015 By Lena

When I think of sports, I think of laundry. No, really!

Before you laugh, hear me out! I have two mini athletes at home. Future soccer stars, I like to call them. And when they play, they play hard. Slides. Tumbles. Air kicks. Rolls. Once in a while, they even make contact with the actual soccer ball. Go team!

Of course, that’s all good and fine when they’re on the field, but when they come home… that’s when I take over. Straight to the washing machine we go! So, sports and laundry… you do see the connection now, yes?

Maytag Canada, a Whirlpool brand, is bringing its iconic powerful and dependable laundry appliances to the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, providing washers and dryers to ensure athletes not only perform at their best, but look great too. As the Official Appliance and Athlete Laundry Services Supplier for the Games, Maytag will equip all athlete residences with laundry rooms in the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletes’ Village, amounting to over 400 washers and dryers.
KyleJonesMeet Kyle Jones (pictured above). Kyle has been a member of Canada’s National Triathlon Team since 2006, winning the Canadian Junior title in 2003 which sparked a move to Victoria, BC to train at the National Training Centre. In 2012 he won his first Canadian Senior title, his first ITU World Cup title, and represented Canada at the Olympic Games in London. Since then, he has added two more National titles, a World Cup silver medal, and most recently represented Canada at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. He’s also the proud recipient of a Maytag sponsorship.

High five, Kyle! I’m a Maytag enthusiast too.

The proud owner of a Maytag Maxima XL Front Load Steam Washer and Maytag Maxima XL HE Steam Dryer, I rely on the appliances to keep my boys’ uniforms clean, bright and sanitized. Because Maytag understands performance counts, their appliances are made to withstand heavy use while delivering consistent performance. …
