 Being green is good for you, good for the Earth and good for your wallet. Here are some tips to help you Green Your Laundry Routine:
- Make your own laundry detergent - either liquid or powder.
- Or you can simple purchase a biodegradable, environmentally friendly detergent like the Ares Green 2X Laundry Detergent offered in the soap vending machine at the Washouse.
- Wash on cold - except for bedding which should be washed on warm or hot to kill dust mites.
- Use an ENERGY STAR rated front-load washer like those offered at the Washouse. Front load washers use less water than conventional top load washers.
- Only wash full loads.
- Use less detergent - front load washers require less detergent since they use less water.
- Avoid buying clothes that are dry clean only.
