# Wash your clothes in cold water using cold-water detergents whenever possible.
# Wash and dry full loads. If you are washing a small load, use the appropriate
water-level setting.
# Dry towels and heavier cottons in a separate load from lighter-weight clothes.
# Don’t over-dry your clothes. If your machine has a moisture sensor, use it.
# Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.
# Use the cool-down cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the residual
heat in the dryer.
# Periodically inspect your dryer vent to ensure it is not blocked. This will
save energy and may prevent a fire. Manufacturers recommend using rigid venting
material, not plastic vents that may collapse and cause blockages.
# Look for the ENERGY STAR® and EnergyGuide labels
