Laundry Tips

[Guest guest]

Though the end result

of doing laundry is clean clothes,

the

laundering process itself is not necessarily clean.

 

A

typical top-loading washer uses approximately 40 gallons

of

water per load.

 

Scroll

down for some tips to save water, electricity, and

money.

 

 

*

Much of the energy consumed by a washer is used to heat

water,

so wash clothes on the " cold " or " warm " settings

rather

than " hot " whenever possible.Detergents designed

specifically

for cold-water washing are now available.

 

*

Wash full loads to make the best use of the energy re-

quired

to run the machine. If you must do a smaller load,

adjust

the water level accordingly.

 

*

Improve efficiency by sorting clothes according to fabric

type,

color, weight, and degree of soiling. Wash heavy

items

such as towels separately from light items.

 

*

When the time comes to buy a new washer, choose an Energy

Star-rated

model. Energy Star washers not only use less

water

per load (18 to 25 gallons on average; front-loading

models

use as little as five gallons) but also extract more

water

from clothes, reducing drying time.

 

 

“Fortunately

art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a

spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the

flesh.”

-Allen Ginsberg
