  • 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
