ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR YOUR WASHER

If your clothes and household items don’t look clean
and fresh after washing, you will probably rewash
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 choose a water temperature warm
enough to release and get rid of soil.

• Try to wash less often. 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.

• Always rinse in cold water. The temperature 

of the rinse does not affect cleaning.

• Wash in off-peak utility hours. Your local utility 

can tell you which are the off-peak hours.

• Use your washer’s Normal Spin. This will remove

more water during spin, which will shorten drying
cycle to save more energy.
