- Wash only full loads in your washing machine. |
.- Use the shortest cycle possible for washing clothes, and use the "suds-saver" feature if your machine has one. |
.- If your washer has an adjustable water-level indicator, set the dial to use only as much water as is really necessary. |
- If you have a septic system, spread out your washing to avoid heavy-use days that could overload the system. |
.- Use only cleaning products that will not harm the environment when
they are washed away after use. Look for "environmentally friendly" products when shopping. |
- Promptly repair any leaks around the taps, hoses, or fittings of your washer, or the taps of your laundry sink. |
