Consider Air Drying

Albany, NY

Turning on the dryer was all it took to make energy levels jump in this Unwaste Lab household. To save energy while doing your laundry, consider air drying your clothes. If you don’t have time to air dry, try reducing your drying time by carefully setting the timer. Another way to reduce drying time is by choosing the high-spin cycle on your washing machine. This reduces the amount of moisture left in your clothes after washing.
