If you are someone who does multiple loads of laundry every week, it could be having a more substantial effect on the planet than you might think. The amount of water, energy, and products used when doing laundry can inevitably add up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washing and drying your garments in a more environmentally conscious way can make for a more Eco-conscious household. These simple switches will not only reduce the environmental impact but will also save you money while you&#8217;re at it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Washing clothes in cooler temperatures<\/li><li>Always make sure you wash full loads<\/li><li>Get a green washing machine<\/li><li>Use green laundry detergent&nbsp;<\/li><li>Wash by hand<\/li><li>Cut down on drying time<\/li><li>Hang clothes to dry<\/li><li>Don&#8217;t iron unnecessarily<\/li><li>Get the professionals to take care of it<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Washing clothes in cooler temperatures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up to 90 % of the energy used when doing your laundry involves just heating the water.  Most of us know that having a long, hot shower is less environmentally friendly than a quick, short one. The same applies when doing your laundry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washing clothes at 30\u00b0C instead of 40<strong>\u00b0<\/strong>C uses about 40% less energy. Doing your laundry at a lower temperature can also be better for your clothes. Exposing your clothes to hot temperatures can shorten the lifespan of the garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?resize=1536%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?resize=2048%2C1367&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?resize=246%2C164&amp;ssl=1 246w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/shutterstock_745269118.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always make sure you wash full loads.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reducing the number of loads you do per week will save water and save you money.

If you are in the market for a new washer or dryer, buying a greener model can save energy and use less water, lowering your bills in the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High-efficiency machines use between 20% to 60% less water and as little as 50% energy as traditional washing machines.

Standard laundry detergent contains phosphates which can have disastrous effects to marine life that comes in contact with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When purchasing more Eco-friendly detergents, make sure you keep an eye out for labels that indicate the product is biodegradable and phosphate-free. These detergents are often more gentle on the skin, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_464968631.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_464968631.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_464968631.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_464968631.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_464968631.jpg?resize=246%2C164&amp;ssl=1 246w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_464968631.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_464968631.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wash by hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know this option will cause some people to wince. &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-hand-wash-clothes\/\">Hand washing<\/a>&nbsp;can be time-consuming,  but there are some ways to make the process easier. Tools like a pedal washer can allow you to exercise while you wash your laundry, helping your body and the environment at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hand washing can give you a sense of just how much laundry you&#8217;re going through weekly.

Not using your dryer as much can also save you money on your electric bill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little things like cleaning the filter in your dryer can also save energy. If the filter is clogged, the clothes take longer to dry, meaning more energy wasted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/71XdaqUHsL._SL1300_.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/71XdaqUHsL._SL1300_.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/71XdaqUHsL._SL1300_.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/71XdaqUHsL._SL1300_.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/71XdaqUHsL._SL1300_.jpg?resize=219%2C164&amp;ssl=1 219w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/71XdaqUHsL._SL1300_.jpg?w=1300&amp;ssl=1 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hang clothes to dry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most optimal ways to cut down on time using your dryer is to hang your clothes to dry. If weather permits, hanging your clothes to dry on the line outside can take away 100% of the energy used when using your dryer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people who live in a warmer climate drying clothes outside can be quick and easy.  Those who live in wetter corners of the globe, can always line dry indoors all year round. Hanging clothes to dry will not only reduce energy, it will also cut your electric bill and make your clothes last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/white-3395699_1280.jpg?resize=1280%2C856&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1430\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t iron unnecessarily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ironing is top of most peoples most hated chores list. So why not cut it out when it isn&#8217;t necessary?  Ironing consumes excess energy and can deteriorate the fabric on your clothing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We understand that even the most environmentally conscious of us still don&#8217;t want to rock up to a job interview with a creased shirt. To avoid looking scruffy,  all you have to do is hang up your shirt straight after the wash cycle is complete. For materials that are more prone to creasing, like linen, just cut the final spin cycle on your wash, leaving more water in the fabric, resulting in fewer creases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1425\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.laundryheap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ironing.jpeg?fit=611%2C425&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ironing.jpeg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ironing.jpeg?resize=300%2C209&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ironing.jpeg?resize=1024%2C713&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ironing.jpeg?resize=768%2C534&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ironing.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1069&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ironing.jpeg?resize=236%2C164&amp;ssl=1 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get the professionals to take care of it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might sound unconventional, but commercial washers and dryers tend to be more efficient than domestic machines because they are bigger and can take bigger loads.
