Laundry tips

• Wash your clothes in cold water using cold-water detergents whenever possible.

• Wash and dry full loads. If you are washing a small load, use the appropriate
  

  water-level setting.

• Dry towels and heavier cottons in a separate load from lighter-weight clothes.

• Don’t over-dry your clothes. If your machine has a moisture sensor, use it.

• Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.

• Use the cool-down cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the residual
  

  heat in the dryer.

• Periodically inspect your dryer vent to ensure it is not blocked. This will
  

  save energy and may prevent a fire. Manufacturers recommend using rigid venting
  

  material, not plastic vents that may collapse and cause blockages.

• Look for the ENERGY STAR® and EnergyGuide labels
