Caring for clothes with less environmental impact:

  1. Use cold water
  2. Use less soap
  3. During the week, wash and dry before 8:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m to avoid peak energy use hours.
  4. Wash at will all weekend. Keep full loads.
  5. Wash whites on warm/hot on weekends.
  6. Hang clothes to dry when feasible.
  7. Use an outdoor clothesline.
  8. Remember to use dark wash soap in small amounts for your black clothes. We recommend dark-wash woolite.
