Green tip of the month for June

06-08-09
Shannon Witt

Hello Everyone,


Sorry i missed Mays green tip- i was on vacation. Our tip this month is brought to us by Harvard University:

There's a simple path to greener laundry: pick the cold water wash! Around 90% of the energy used by washing machines goes to simply heating the water.*

Setting the Record Straight

March Green Tip

Many people assume that they're getting extra cleaning power by washing in hot water, but in most cases washing clothes in cold water is just as effective as washing clothes in hot water.

Hot water is sometimes beneficial when you're trying to remove oily stains or sanitize heavily soiled items, but otherwise wears out clothes quickly, causing them to fade, stretch, and wrinkle.

Tips for Even Greener Laundry

Always wait to wash until you have a full load; combine partial loads with those of fellow residents.

  • Choose detergents and other laundry products that are ecologically friendly. Check labels for products that are biodegradeable, plant-derived, free of phosphates, and concentrated (so you'll use less each load).
  • Spin clothes at high speeds-- this will reduce the time needed to dry your clothes in an electric dryer.
  • Use a drying rack or clothesline rather than an electric dryer whenever possible.
  • If purchasing a clothes washer, choose one certified by ENERGY STAR®; you may cut energy use by a third and water use by half. You may also be eligible for a rebate.
