Laundry: it's the bane of my existence. Unfortunately, it's one of the necessities of life. Thankfully there are ways to be green about it (and I don't mean wearing your clothes twice like the celebrities do and calling it a green effort).
Aside from using eco-friendly laundry detergent, here are a few tips that can help make your laundering chores a little more friend.
- Only do full loads of laundry to cut down on the amount of energy expended.
- Switch to cold water washing and save 80 percent on energy used for laundry and save an estimated $60 a year.
- Hang dry your clothes instead of using the dryer and save 700 pounds of C02 a year.
- Buy washable clothes instead of clothes that need to be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning uses harmful chemicals.
- If you must dry clean, try to wear items several times before cleaning them.
