Money-saving Laundry Tips

When washing laundry, wait until there is a full-load before running the machine or use a lower water setting.
Use the proper settings for the proper loads. Differences in the cycle length and heat can lead to excessive use of gas or electricity.
Be sure to remove clothes from the dryer during the first go-round. Restarting the load to fluff the laundry wastes gas or electricity.
Remove items that will be hung on hangers while they are just slightly damp. This will save power and allow any small wrinkles to "hang" out.
