Go Green Tips: Fashion Advice... Sorta!


By: Christine Toorinjian

            Okay, so let's get started! You know how most people dry and wash their clothes with a dryer and a washing machine? I wouldn't know too much about it, probably because I don't do laundry... Anyways, today we're going to tell you how to wash and dry your threads, while also saving quite a bit of energy!

            #1: DO clean out the lint from your dryer's lint filter before starting each load to have better air circulation within the wash. This can also prevent fires, which sounds pretty good to me!

            #2: DO NOT overload your dryer IF you want sufficient air flow while drying!

            #3: DO look for energy-saving features when buying a new dryer. Examples of these would be "moisture sensing" or "cool-down".

            #4: DO NOT add wet items to a load that is partially dried. The added item will add moisture and increased time for the items in the dryer.

            #5: DO use a classic clothesline instead of using a dryer 8 times a week. It'll keep approximately $32 in your pocket and a windy feeling when you put on these clothes!

            NOW, I expect you to use my advice and dry your clothes this way! You will look good, your electric bill will look good, but your stains will look the same! Unless you wash it real good, but then again...
