Go Green!I just read an interesting article about high efficiency washers and dryers. Energy Star washers use approximately half the water and a fraction of the electricity to run. Less water, less stress on your cesspool if that's where your machine drains. It's been noted that cold water washes get clothes just as clean, saving you the fuel to heat the hot water. Run only full loads of wash. Run quick cycles for less soiled clothing, and use high spin cycles to reduce the need for excessive drying times. Using a moisture sensor on your dryer can also save on electricity, and make sure your lint screen is cleaned after every load.
