Watch How You Wash Clothes

Many newer washing machines and detergents are so capable that you don’t need to wash clothes as thoroughly anymore. If you use more than one rinse each time you run your machine, cut back. You can also reduce how much detergent you use without seeing much of a difference.

Unless you have clothes that are entirely soiled or someone is sick, cold water will do the trick while saving energy in the process. If not, feel free to use hot water when needed, but not all the time.

Lastly, wash clothes when you have a full load. It will save energy, water, and detergent.

Use the Dishwasher Instead of Your Hands

Do you have a dishwasher in your kitchen that’s collecting dust? If so, it’s probably because you think it’s a water and energy hog.

Believe it or not, using a dishwasher is more efficient when it comes to water consumption, and it can even do a better job at cleaning.

To make the most out of each wash, ensure you have a full load.

Try Running Your Machines at Night

Some utility companies vary their charges according to the time of day. For this reason, running your dishwasher and washing machine at night could help you cut costs.

When it comes to washing dishes, running nighttime cycles can help since you can start the machine right after dinner. Without having to rinse the dishes beforehand since the dishwasher will be running soon, you’ll save some extra water in the process.

How can you tell if you get charged more during the day? Call the company in question or go to their website to find out. If it doesn’t work for your water bill, try it with your power bill.

Improve Your Toilet’s Efficiency in a Matter of Minutes

There are plenty of water-saving toilets on the market, but you may not have the spare cash to buy them. No worries, as you can make your existing toilets more efficient with a super-simple trick.

Take two plastic soda bottles and fill each with a couple of inches of pebbles. Add water to each bottle until they’re full and tightly close their lids. Then drop them in your toilet tank without blocking any critical moving parts, and you’re good to go.

By having these homemade devices in your toilet’s tank, you can save water with each flush. Over time, this should result in significant savings and will keep you from having to worry about flushing so much.

As a bonus, making use of plastic bottles instead of throwing them away helps you recycle, which helps the environment.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
