My Green Mommy Tip: Full Loads Only Please
Posted on June 30, 2011 | No CommentsMy favorite green Mommy tip is only do laundry when you have full loads. The savings are immense. You save in the follow areas: 1. You save your personal time because there will be fewer loads washed. Washing several small loads can be physically draining. 2. Saves laundry detergent. (Keep in mind that the actual amount of laundry will vary if you have hard water). But using the recommended amount of detergent will get your clothes clean and keep your clothes from being ruined as quick. Additionally, by using liquid detergent you lessen the amount of residue left on... -
