Green Laundry Tips

FOR OWNERS & MANAGERS:

  • Outfit your laundry room with ENERGY STAR commercial washers and dryers like those offered by Web.
  • Keep your dryer vents cleaned to reduce drying times and decrease CO2 emissions.
  • Utilize electronic card systems for laundry payment to reduce vehicle and gas usage required for collection of coins.

FOR RESIDENTS:

  • Wash in cold water to reduce energy used for heating the water.
  • Use concentrated detergent formulas with reduced packaging and less volume.
  • If you use detergent in a plastic bottle, recycle or reuse the bottle.
  • Only do laundry when you have a full load.
  • Use detergent that is formulated for your washer type for more effective cleaning.
  • Separate towels from light-weight items to reduce dry time.
  • Wash during non-peak hours (before 6:00 am and after 7:00 pm).
