Tips for saving energy in Laundry

Tips for saving energy in Laundry

1 Ninety percent of the energy your washer uses goes toward heating water. Today, detergents are specially formulated to work just as well in cold water.

2 Run the washer only when you have a full load of laundry to save energy and water.

3 If you have more than one load of clothes to dry, try to do each load immediately after the one before to use the heat left over from the previous cycle and increase the efficiency of the dryer.

4 Dry heavy and light fabrics separately to keep drying time to a minimum. Mixing different weight fabrics causes the dryer to run longer than necessary.

5 Remember to check the lint filter before each load. Lint buildup blocks air flow and lengthen drying time, and can be a fire hazard as well.
