Save energy and go green when washing your clothes.  Utilize with the spin dryer, which provides you with the high speed centrifuge for all your clothes.  Place your clothes in the spin dryer after the washing machine has taken out most of the water.  The dryer utilizes the same energy no matter how damp the clothing, thus improving the overall washing efficiency.

The high speed provided by the dryer removes any additional cleaning chemicals, thus relieving your skin of irritability brought on by contact with the cleaning chemicals.  This small adjustment will extend the life of your clothing.  Hold on to your favorite clothes and linens longer and save money at the shopping mall.

Cleaning the lint filter after each use is an important habit to start in order to prolong the life of your dryer.  Exercise restraint when tempted to stuff your dryer to the brim with all of your laundry.  When you overload the dryer, you deny the inside of the dryer the necessary air to circulate between your clothing.  The extra space in the dryer allows your clothing the proper space it needs to have the most effective exposure to the heat/air.  If possible, open a window or door near your washer and dryer to increase airflow.  The accumulated, humid air is likely to decrease the effectiveness of the clothes dryer in an enclosed space.

It is key to properly separate your loads of laundry.  The heavier items must be dried separately from the lighter items.  The cool cycle is important and you will have to make sure that the clothes dryer completes its drying cycle with a cool-down cycle.  Make sure that the moisture is removed and the fastest cycle is to be used when your clothes are in the washing machine.  Timing is another important matter and you will have to coordinate your timing in order for the loads to follow each other.  When purchasing a dryer, look for one equipped with a moisture sensor.  The moisture sensor automatically stops the dryer as soon as the clothes are dry.  If you turn on your dryer and leave the house to run some errands, you can trust that the dryer will turn off once the job is complete and no energy will be wasted.

For that extra flavor of green, consider line drying your clothes out in the sun after the wash.  Hang your clothes in the backyard, on the balcony or on a clothing rack from a home store.  Hanging your clothes where the sun shines will get the job done faster, but inside the home will be just as effective.  This is a simple way to save but commonly forgotten about when the habit of using the dryer on a daily basis if formed.  Consider line drying one load of laundry a week to make a difference in your energy efficiency.  This method also benefits the longevity of your clothing and linens.  Line drying is a great and simple way to save energy and money.  It takes longer than the dryer, but its long term benefits are indisputable.
