Energy saving tips- laundry

Energy saving tips- laundryThere are many ways to save electricity and thus your hard earned money. You can also save energy by washing your clothes! Yes! By the proper utilization of your laundry, you can actually save a lot of energy that is wasted while washing clothes. Here is few energy saving tips for your laundry.
Laundry time: The ideal time for washing your clothes which can save a lot of energy is early morning or night. Waking up early to wash clothes? Well, it sounds odd but hey, if you can save your hard earned money, then what is the big deal? Trudge into your laundry room early in the morning and start your laundry session.

Water: Use warm or cold water when possible and always rinse with cold water. This is because most of the energy in a washing machine is used to heat the water.

Temperature: If you have presoaked your heavily stained clothes, the wash temperature should be cooler. Set the washing machine on cold water while rinsing the clothes.
Most of the energy in a washing machine is used to heat the water.

Detergent: Experimenting with detergent is a good idea. Find out the detergent that works well with cooler water. Don’t use more detergent than you need because you may require extra rinsing.

Capacity: Check your machine’s loading capacity and make sure that you neither under- load nor over load your machine. Both under loading and over loading of your machine will make it costly to operate.

Washing: If you are washing lightly stained clothes, use the suds-saving feature if it’s available on your washing machine. This saves the water to be reused in the next load. On the other hand, pre soak the heavily stained clothes and wash them in cooler temperature.

Drying: Dry the similar types of clothes together. For example, your lightweight synthetics will dry much more quickly than bath towels and natural fiber clothes. Make sure that you don’t over-dry your clothes. If you take out the slightly damp clothes, you can reduce the need of ironing hard.

Laundry organization tips

Laundry organization tipsDo you find your laundry piled with piles of dirty clothes? Do you find washing a daunting task? Need some help? We are here to provide you some laundry organization tips. Read on.
You need to accomplish the task systematically. For this, you have to create a system for accumulating the dirty clothes, washing them and to carry out the drying process.
The first step should be placing a portable laundry basket in every room of your home. Involve your spouse and kids to run the process smoothly. Ask them to toss down their dirty clothes in their respective hampers and tell them to assemble their baskets in the laundry room. If a hamper is placed in the room where changing in out of clothes takes place, they are more likely to be kept organized.

Consider this- you can save time by dividing the hampers into categories such as colors, whites, jeans, towels and delicates. Provide them the categorized laundry baskets so that they will dump their clothes according to the categories. So when you are getting ready to do a load of whites, you won’t have to find them, they will be their in their respective baskets!

That was the system for washable clothes. What about the clothes which need dry cleaning or are hand-washable? Hang a bag in the laundry room where these items can be placed.

In order to organize your stain-removing agents, detergent and fabric softeners, install shelves or cabinets that can be easily accessed from your machines.

Place a countertop at an appropriate level which is helpful for folding clothes and will keep you from getting a sore back from bending over time and again.

Organize the clothes straight from the dryer by hanging a bar on the wall. You can hang your shirts and slacks on the hanging bar.

Apart from laundry baskets, another hamper is needed to keep your laundry room organized. This is the “lost and found” basket in which you should keep the “found” items such as money, receipts, buttons and lipstick. Pairs of socks are often misplaced. So, hang a bulletin board for socks without their mates.

Thus, follow these steps and enjoy washing!
