Green Washing
The entire laundry process can drain a lot of energy, not to mention cause quite expensive bills. A normal busy family household can do up to 4 washing loads a day or more, depending on how many people are in the home. There are a lot of chances you can make when doing the clothes washing. The first place to begin is with the amount of loads you do on a daily basis.
While you are sorting out the load of clothes be sure to only do full washes. A lot of people make the mistake of putting on a wash when the load is only half full. A half load is a waste of water and excess energy so make sure never to fall into this bad habit. A full load wash is the only way to do laundry.
The water that performs the cleaning is also important. Cold water is the best choice. This is because at least 90% of the energy that is used by washing machines is all down to heating up the water. By using cold water you will be saving energy and cutting the cost of your bill. If you are closely observing your carbon footprint then this will reduce it for the better. No need to worry about your clothes being cleaned properly as cold water works just as well.
During the summer months make it your business to hang your clothes to dry. Its a very Eco way to cut cost and save energy. Do this whenever possible!
