Don’t Wash it, Wear it

You can make your own detergent, you can line dry your wet clothes, but the truly most efficient way to save wear on your clothes and minimize using the washer/dryer is to air dry or air-out your clothes.

Unless you are someone who ‘bombs’ your clothes regularly with food, sweats profusely or plays in the mud regularly; the regular day to day wearing of clothes would not justify washing clothes as often as the detergent/washing machine commercials would have us believe.


Your benefits for washing clothes less often are:
- Your clothes look newer and brighter longer
- You save money on electricity and water
- You save on the wear and tear of the large appliances

How do you wash clothes less often?
- Hang up your work clothes right when you get home
- Air dry your clothes by an open window or hang outside
- Hang in the bathroom while you shower and get ready in the morning
