More Eco-Laundry Tips
Switching to concentrated detergents is a small step that benefits the environment. Here are some other easy tips to save water and energy in the laundry room:
WASHING
- Wash in cold water.
- Wash only full loads, but do not overload your machine.
- If buying a washer, look for the Energy Star label or a High-Efficiency (HE) model.
- Use the correct amount and type of detergent (use HE detergent in your HE washing machine).
DRYING
- Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.
- If buying a dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that shuts off when clothes are dry.
- Use the cool-down cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the residual heat in the dryer.
