laundry tips to help the planet

just a few tips about keeping the earth green while you make your clothes clean...
  • use cold water. this means less energy (0%) is used to heat the water!
  • use less detergent. how dirty are your clothes, really? it was just you wearing them, anyway.
  • stay away from chlorine bleach. the fumes aren't great for you or your neighbor the great outdoors. if you have to use bleach, try oxygen bleach instead.
  • always clean the lint trap. dryers will run more efficiently and run a lower risk of catching on fire (which could burn down your house and, in turn, the forest)!
  • line dry. tiny microbes and bugs will drink the water, leaving your clothes nice and dry after a few hours!
