Helps Save Energy And Eliminate Greenhouse Gases
That’s right, washing with cold water can reduce your energy footprint even more by keeping CO2 emissions out of the air.
The number of loads of laundry done by the average U.S. household every year is 392.
And by switching from warm wash and rinse to cold wash and rinse, the energy savings is 3.2kWh per load. That’s enough to power a refrigerator for over 300 days!
Helps Protect Your Clothes
The truth is washing in cold water helps slow fading in colors, reduce shrinking in fabrics and protect delicates. And it gives us all one more good reason to turn to cold when it comes to your laundry — not to mention, saves you money on every load you wash in cold.
