IDT Energy: Laundry Savings Tips
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 at 10:23 am
Companies such as IDT Energy know that by introducing a few new habits into your everyday routine, you can easily lower the amount of energy that you use, as well as your electricity bill. Your laundering habits are a good example of such an opportunity. Here are a few suggestions:
- Do your wash with cold water whenever possible.
- Be sure to only run full loads, to maximize efficiency.
- Make sure you don’t overload your dryer. This will cause the dryer to use more energy, and require more time to run. Clothes will also wrinkle and get worn out.
- For maximum efficiency, use suds savers and front-loading washers.
- Always adjust the water level according to the load size. This way, you will use less on smaller loads.
- Overloaded washers don’t clean clothes as effectively, and often requires another cycle.
- Make sure to clean the lint filter after each drying cycle to maintain efficiency.
