Green Washing Machines: Save More Money!
Do you ever think about how much water gets used (and wasted) when washing your clothes? Of course you want them to be fresh, smelling sweet and clean, but is there any way for you to be more green and eco-friendly with your washing? You try the all-natural soaps and use a broom instead of a vacuum cleaner at home, which are all perfect ways to help the environment. Now let’s talk big picture, big investment and big savings for both you and the environment: Eco-Friendly Washing Machines!
Tips for looking for Eco-Friendly Washing Machines:
1. Look for words like “energy efficient” and “economic operation”: Look for a front-loading washing machine instead of a top-loading washing machine, too. We’ll get to the specifics later. You also want to see if the machine can handle high-efficiency of condensed detergents, so that you don’t use too many chemicals. While the words are well and good, to be a true savvy shopper you need to know the statistics.
2. The average top-loading washing machine uses over 40 gallons of water per wash! That’s a lot of wasted water, when you think that the average front-loading washing machine uses between 15-20.
3. If you’re washing for a big family and still need the top-loader to fit in the bulky items, make sure the machine is extremely efficient and comes with a good spin cycle, so you don’t have to waste as much energy on the drying machine as well.
