ENERGY EFFICIENCY
TIP OF THE MONTH
TURN SUDS INTO SAVINGS
Lower your energy use in the laundry room by washing clothes with cold water whenever possible, as heating water accounts for most of the energy used in a laundry cycle. Wash full loads to make the most of energy savings, and use high-efficiency detergent designed for cold washes.
