Saving On Fuel Costs For The Home (fuel saving devices)

Laundry

Most of the energy in a washing machine is used to heat the water. Use warm or cold water when possible, and always rinse with cold water.

* Don't use more detergent than you need. Too many suds may require extra rinsing.

* Put full loads in the dryer, but don't overload. Overloading makes the machine less efficient and more costly to operate.

* Use warm or cold settings to dry, especially for permanent press clothes.

* Always keep the lint filter clean.

* Don't overdry clothes.

* The dryer will run most efficiently when drying clothes of the same thickness.

* Do two or more loads in a row. (The dryer is already hot) When possible, use an outdoor clothesline rather than a dryer. (Especially large blankets)
