Tips For Homeowners – Laundry room
Rinse in cold water and wash in warm
Clothes rinsed in cold water come out as clean as those rinsed in warm water. Washing in warm rather than hot water uses 50% less energy, and your clothes will come out just as well rinsed and, depending on the fabric, less wrinkled.
