Avoid over-drying clothes
Clothes should dry in 40 to 60 minutes. Better yet, hang clothes outdoors to dry when the weather permits. If you are buying a new dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor. It will turn off automatically when clothes are dry.

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.
