Save money this summer
The laundry room is a great place to start
Looking for additional ways to save energy this summer? Your laundry room is a great place to start.
Wash clothes with cold water, which can cut one load’s energy use by more than half. Your washing machine will use the same amount of energy no matter the size of the clothes load, so fill it up when you can. When drying clothes, separate the heavier cottons. Loads will dry faster and more evenly if you separate heavier cottons like linens and towels from your lightweight clothing.
