If your clothes and household items don’t look clean
and fresh after washing, you will probably rewash
them.. and that means you’ll waste energy. Remember
to sort your clothes carefully, and load them properly,
select correct cycles, use enough detergent and choose a

water 

temperature warm enough to release and get rid

of soil.

● 

Try to wash less often. Save articles of the same

type of fabric until you have a full load.

● 

If you must wash smaller loads, adjust the amount

of water. Small loads should have lower water
levels.

 Always rinse in cold water. The temperature of the

rinse does not affect cleaning.

● 

Wash in off-peak utility hours. Your local utility can

tell you which are the 

 hours.

● 

Use your washer’s Normal Spin. This will remove

more water during spin, which will shorten drying
cycle to save more energy.
