- Always wash a full load. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t overload the washer, but it is important to always wash a full load. This saves on water and energy.
- Boost cleaning power with vinegar and baking soda. The mixture will clean, brighten and deodorize. It will also save money on detergent because you can cut usage in half.
- Clean out dryer lint after every single load. We are all guilty of not doing this. Cleaning after each load will help the dryer work more efficiently.
- Fold and hang clothing as soon as it’s dry. This will avoid the need for ironing later.
- Never overload the washer. This can cause an issue with clothing not getting clean.
- Treat stains ASAP. Without immediate stain treatment, it might be difficult to remove grime, dirt or other stains. Be sure to treat stains as they happen and you’ll lessen your load and keep clothing looking better, longer.
- Try using a clothesline to cut dryer usage in half. Whether the line is indoors or out, you’ll be able to reduce your utility bill.
