Washing only full loads of laundry is kind of like a double edged sword when it comes to slashing your utility bills-it cuts both ways! First, you will save on your water bill. By only washing full loads of laundry (or at least setting your washer to the correct water level) will lower the amount of water you use per article of clothing. Also, it will prevent extra time spent using the dryer (if you decide not to take action point three.

After we started doing this, we noticed about three loads a week difference in our laundry room. That saves water per wash cycle, and electricity for not only the dryer, but the washer motor as well. It will also save you some of that commodity that we are all too short on these days-time. That was an additional nine trips to the laundry room avoided (three to put them in the washer, three to place them in the dryer and three to get them out and fold or hang up), and also time saved by placing more clothes in their proper place at one time.

Action point: For the next four weeks only wash full loads of laundry.

I know we say it often, but we really mean it: Have a great day!
