tips
If your clothes and household items
don’t look clean and fresh after
washing, you will probably
them... and that means you’ll waste
energy. Remember to sort your
clothes carefully, and load them
properly, select correct cycles, use
enough detergent and
a
water temperature warm enough to
release and
get rid of soil.
●
Use
on a basis only when washing
heavily soiled articles-such as
work and play clothes.
●
Under normal soil conditions,
wash in water above
This generally means using the
WARM wash temperature setting
on your washer—temperatures
approximately
). If you
notice that soil has accumulated
after several consecutive washings,
use HOT wash occasionally, if safe
for fabrics.
●
Always rinse in COLD water.
The temperature of the rinse does
not affect cleaning.
●
Try to wash less Save
articles of the same type of fabric
until you have a full load.
●
If you must wash smaller loads,
adjust the amount of water. Small
loads should have lower water
levels.
●
Sort clothes by weight so you won’t
have to run an extra cycle for one or
two heavier, slower-drying items.
. Do not overload dryer. The drum
should be no more than half full of
wet articles. For efficient drying,
clothes need to tumble freely.
Overloading prolongs drying time
and produces uneven drying.
●
Use Automatic Drying Cycle
whenever possible to help prevent
overdying and save energy.
●
To help prevent ironing, remove
garments immediately at end of
drying cycle and place on hangers.
●
Dry your clothes in consecutive
loads. Using a “warm” dryer will
save energy.
●
Clean lint falter each time you dry.
●
Clean dryer exhaust
at least once a year. A partially
clogged exhaust can lengthen
drying time.
. Wash in off-peak utility hours.
Your local utility can tell you which
are the off-peak hours.
