How can you minimize energy use and water pollution with your current washer?

  • Always wash a full load
  • Use ecologically minded detergent
  • Set washing machine temps on warm or cold with a cold rinse
  • As much as possible, use renewable energy sources.
  • Your dryer is the next highest enery hog after your refrigerator. What can you do to help?
  • Use the moisture sensor option on your dryer, which automatically shuts off the machine when the clothes are dry.
  • If your washer has spin options, choose a high spin speed or extended spin option to reduce the amount of remaining moisture, thus starting the drying process before you put your clothes in the dryer.
  • And of course, line dry your clothes whenever possible
