In the laundry room
Here are some tips that will help:
- Wash or adjust the setting to the size of load you are washing (small, medium, large).
- Wash in cold water. Many of today’s detergents work well in cold water.
- Consider a front-loading washer – they use less energy and water.
- Hang clothes outside to dry.
- Clean the lint filter after each load to maintain airflow and efficiency.
- Drying several consecutive loads loads means the dryer has to heat up only once.
