Ways to cut your electricity use for laundry


Ways to cut your electricity use for laundry

Cut down your electricity bill by using the drier far less.

How? Here are a few ways to save.

  • Spin, mangle or wring first to remove as much moisture as possible.

  • Avoid drying heavy items such as towels if possible.

  • Dry only the items you need fairly quickly. It is generally not more economical to fill the drum, especially if you can let some of the wash load air dry.

  • Use the timer on your machine carefully so that you don't spend time and money heating up dry clothes!

  • Remove items from the drier before they are bone dry and let them air.

  • Use a drier ball which speeds the drying process by absorbing moisture. These are becoming more widely available. In Britain they are available from Lakeland Plastics. They cut your drying time by about 1/5th or more, so they are well worth using.

  • Use fresh air to dry most of your clothes! See the Laundry Tips page below for more details.
