If your clothes and household
items don’t look clean and fresh
after washing, you will probably
rewash them.. and that means
you’ll waste energy. Remember to
sort your clothes carefully, and
load them properly, select correct
cycles, use enough detergent and
choose a
water temperature warm
enough to release and
get rid
of soil.
● Use Hot Wash—up to
150°F.
(65°C.)—on
a regular basis only
when washing heavily soiled
articles-such as work and
play clothes.
● Under normal soil conditions,
wash in water above
80°F.
(27°C.).
This generally means
using the Warm Wash
temperature setting on your
washer—temperatures
approximately
90°F.–l
10°F.
(32”C.-38°C.) or hand
comfortable. If you notice that
soil has accumulated after several
consecutive washings, use Hot
Wash occasionally, if safe
for fabrics.
● Try to wash less often. Save
articles of the same type of fabric
until
you have a full load.
● If you must wash smaller loads,
adjust the amount of water.
Small loads should have lower
water levels.
● Wash in off-peak utility hours.
Your local utility can
tell
you
which are the off-peak hours.
● Use Normal Spin Speed to
remove more water and help
lessen drying time. The dryer will
remove any wrinkles caused by
the Normal Spin.
