try an eco-friendly Wash Cycle...
According to research, a standard washing machine uses around 20 gallons of water for each load, while electric dryers, on average, can use anywhere from 1,800 to 5,000 watts of energy, or about 1.8 to 5 kilowatt hours of electricity per cycle. Water heating consumes about 90 per cent of the energy it takes to operate a washing machine. By changing your washer’s temperature setting from hot to warm, or even better cold, you can cut energy use in half. When using a dryer, regularly cleaning the lint screen, moisture sensors, and dryer duct will ensure efficiency. Avoiding the dryer and line drying instead when possible is another way of making a huge difference.
