SAVING ELECTRICITY
most of the energy used to wash clothes is heating the
water so the solution is to wash with cold water
we do this out our house by washing and rinsing in cold water
of course we use rain water to wash our clothes
washing your clothes in hot water instead of cold water uses
as much electricity as leaving your refrigerator door open for
a year
now that puts this in terms where we understand the importance
of using cold water
also hot water shrinks, fades your clothes and they wont last as long
use a front loading washer as it uses 2/3 less water than a top loader
we switched to one of these a few years ago
as we are on rainwater for our water system we want to conserve
as much water as possible
or to be truly green get one of those things in the picture at the
top of this blog
yes a clothesline
i know those hoas ........
total electric power used each year for drying our clothes at
the country n is zero
they smell fresh
if done right dont need ironing
you get to get outside twice with each load
if you hang them out just before a rain they get rinsed again and
they feel even better when you put the clothes on
one draw back can be if you have a dog that likes
flapping clothes
we had one hes not at our place anymore who loved to go
after those big towels
flap flap flap he couldnt resist them
total investment needed to save over $300 a year is the price
of a clothesline

the organicgreen doctor
My mother's doctor told her one of the reasons she was in good shape was that she washed and hung out clothes for a family of six. They do smell and feel fresher.
