EDZ: Electricité de Zahlé

There are mainly two ways to reduce the amount of energy used for washing clothes, use less water and use cold water.

Soak your clothes first: Soak cycles can allow for shorter wash times. For heavily soiled clothes, instead of a heavy wash cycle, try soaking and then using a shorter wash cycle.

Eliminate small loads: Your clothes washer uses just about the same amount of energy regardless of how much clothing is being washed. Washing two small loads uses approximately twice as much energy as combining them into one full load. By combining loads together you reduce the number of loads you wash which in turn reduces your energy use.

Wash with cold water: Most people in the appliance industry agree that cold water washes just as effectively as warm. Wash your clothes in cold water.

Buy energy efficient clothes washer and dryer: Look at the energy label on the washer and dryer machines and buy the ones that use less energy.
