Earth Day Tip #9–More on Clothes Dryers
Check this site out for ways to save electricity with your clothes dryer. Some of the tips are:
- Clean the lint filter after EVERY load. Your dryer works more efficiently when it’s not pushing air through lint.
- Dryer sheets cause an invisible waxy buildup on your lint screen making it harder for the dryer to push air through, so clean your lint screen with a toothbrush and water occasionally.
- Close the door to your laundry room in the summer to keep it from heating up your whole house and working against your air conditioner, and in the winter, keep the laundry room door open to help heat your home.
- Consider using an outdoor or even an indoor clothesline. Here is a site with more information about hanging clothes and lots of other money saving tips.
- Run around the house naked–you’ll have less clothes to wash. (I’m not sure about this tip.)
Don’t forget to shop and consign at Rumors HAS IT! resale store in Scranton, KS to “Save the Planet one Outfit at a Time”.
Cya in store soon,
