Laundry can be a chore, but saving energy while doing it is simple!
Wash Full Loads
One full load uses less energy than a bunch of small loads.However, overloading will decrease effectiveness of the machine.
Choose the Cold Water “Bright Colors” Setting
Washing with cold water reduces wear and tear on clothing and prevents colors from bleeding. It also uses up to 50% less energy, reducing CO2 emissions.
Sort Your Clothes
Separating towels and heavier cottons from the lighter weight clothes will help your clothes dry faster and more evenly. When possible, hang dry clothes to help maintain the material and save energy!
Clean the Lint After Each Load
Clearing lint from the dryer improves the circulation and helps the dryer run more efficiently.
