save water at home

Over the last couple of years I have learned how to save water in just about every room in my house. That said I still have a lot to learn, there seems to be new ways to save water and energy all the time and as more efficient household items are designed there will be that much more to learn.

If you want to learn how to save water in the laundry room then keep reading. These are some of the best tips I have found:

TIP ONE:
Just like when you do dishes in the dishwasher you want to make sure that you only do a load of laundry when the machine is full. Doing lots of small loads is just a waste of water, a big waste. Doing only full loads can save as much as 2000 liters of water each month.

TIP TWO:
If you can buy a high efficiency washing machine. This alone will save 96 liters of water per load.

TIP THREE:
Take a look at your washing machine and see if it has the suds saving feature. If it does use it to recycle the rinse water from the previous load of laundry. This is a neat way to save water.

TIP THREE:
Be sure to adjust the water level on your washing machine to match the size of the load.

See, it is easy to learn how to save water. You should keep checking back often, I will have more tips on water conservation. As I learn how to save water I will pass along the info.
