The Daily Green Tip

There are several ways to save energy and water in the laundry room, from careful selection of your machines to using cold water. When your old washing machine clunked out, you cleverly replaced it with a front-loading model bearing the Energy Star label. Congratulations! You're already using 50% less energy and water, and saving $110 a year.

But if you're a renter or otherwise saddled with an oldie, you can still make running a load of laundry even more efficient. About 90% of the energy used for washing clothes is for heating the water.

So wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. And reduce the number of times you run the machine by always waiting until you have a full load.

Try these 5 Ways to Save Money on Laundry.
