Save Energy With Your Laundry!

17/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Though it may seem like a pedestrian chore, doing the laundry has a bigger impact on the planet than you might think. Between 75 and 80 percent of our clothing's lifecycle impact comes from washing and drying, according to reports by Proctor (pdf) and Marks & Spencer, because it takes so much energy to heat the wash water and run the dry cycle. So there's huge potential to reduce your personal energy and water use, and therefore your environmental footprint, by simply greening your laundry habits.

There are a number of easy ways to save energy with laundry, whether you’re buying new appliances or not. Follow these suggestions whenever possible to keep energy use to a minimum when doing your washing....or of course you could let us take care of it for you! 

1. Use lower temperature settings
Use warm or cold water for the wash cycle instead of hot (except for greasy stains), and only use cold for rinses. Experiment with different laundry detergents to find one that works well with cooler water. By pre-soaking heavily soiled clothes, a cooler wash temperature may be fine. The temperature of the rinse water does not affect cleaning, so always set the washing machine on cold water rinse.
2. Turn down the thermostat on your water heater
A setting of 120°F is adequate for most home needs. By reducing your hot water temperature, you will save energy with either hot or warm wash cycles.
3. Load the washing machine to capacity when possible
Most people tend to under load rather than overload their washers. Check your machine’s load capacity in pounds, then weigh out a few loads of laundry to get a sense of how much laundry 10 or 18 to 20 pounds represents. Then use your eye to judge the volume of clothes for a load. Washing one large load will take less energy than washing two loads on a low or medium setting.
4. If washing lightly soiled clothes, use the suds-saving feature if it’s available on your washing machine
This saves the wash water to be reused in the next load. Only use this feature, though, if the second load is to be washed right away.
5. When drying, separate your clothes and dry similar types of clothes together
Lightweight synthetics, for example, dry much more quickly than bath towels and natural fibre clothes.
6. Don’t over dry clothes
Take clothes out while they are still slightly damp to reduce the need for ironing – another big energy user. If your dryer has a setting for auto-dry, be sure to use it instead of the timer to avoid wasting energy.
7. Don’t add wet items to a load that is already partially dried
You're just creating more work for yourself and for your dryer!
8. Dry two or more loads in a row
 Take advantage of the heat still in the dryer from the first load.
9. Clean the dryer filter after each use
A clogged filter will restrict flow and reduce dryer performance.
10. Dry full loads when possible, but be careful not to overfill the dryer
Drying small loads wastes energy. Air should be able to circulate freely around the drying clothes.
11. Check the outside dryer exhaust vent
Make sure it is clean and that the flapper on the outside hood opens and closes freely.
12. Let nature deal with it!
In good weather, consider hanging clothes outside and using totally free solar energy to do the drying.

Making your laundry more eco-friendly has multiple benefits: It's better for your wallet, your wardrobe, and your planet. Everybody wins when you 'green' your laundry!

Here at Millimopps Ironing Service, we're always trying to come up with offers for our customers. Whether they're current clients or new ones using our services for the first time, we try to offer a little extra to each and every customer.

In the past, this has included offers of 20.12% off your bill during the 2012 London Olympic Games, half price on all shirts, blouses and dresses last Autumn and most recently, our 'Spring Hasn't Exactly Sprung' offer of free delivery on all orders until the end of May 2013!

We realised though, that we wanted to do something extra special for our regular customers. To be counted among this group, a regular customer is someone who has a pre-arranged weekly or fortnightly collection. Some of our regular customers have been using Millimopps for years and we wanted to do something to reward this loyalty. This is where our new LUCKY DIP idea comes in!

At the end of each month, Millimopps will have a lucky dip with all the regular customers names and the winner will receive a £15 Millimopps Ironing Services Gift Voucher! This voucher entitles the winner to £15 off our laundry and ironing services. We'll announce the winner on-line on our website and social media pages and contact them directly to tell them all about their prize. 

We did our first lucky dip draw last night and are pleased to announce that our first winner is Mrs. Lodge of Highburton! Congratulations Mrs. Lodge, your voucher will be sent to you with your next delivery of ironing.

So if you're already a regular customer, keep your fingers crossed and you might just be a winner next month!
