Washing laundry is unavoidable and is a burden on the environment. However, if everyone pays attention to a few things, washing clothes in the washing machine will also become more environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

Tips for more environmentally friendly washing<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. wash less frequently. Clothes do not usually need to be washed immediately after one wear. If you wash your clothes several times (unless they are really dirty), you can save a lot of water and energy.<\/p>\n 2. the detergent should be biodegradable. Phosphate-free, organic detergents are plant-based and have less impact on the environment. Fabric softener should be concentrated and used sparingly. Half a cap is usually enough.<\/p>\n 3. instead of bleach, natural agents often work very well, for example vinegar and baking soda. These have bleaching properties, make laundry soft and supple and have little impact on the environment.<\/p>\n 4. the washing machine should be as energy-efficient a model as possible, preferably AAA. You can also save a lot of energy and water by only washing normally soiled laundry at 30 degrees or cold and omitting the pre-wash cycle. 90% of the energy consumed by washing machines is used to heat the water.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n 5 If the clothes do not necessarily need to dry quickly, they should be hung up to dry and not put in the tumble dryer. This is also better for the fabric, as the drying process in the tumble dryer wears the clothes out more quickly over time. If you still want to use the tumble dryer, you should clean the lint filter regularly.<\/p>\n 6. clothes that do not need ironing should not be ironed. Smoothing out when hanging up and folding well afterwards is usually sufficient.<\/p>\n 7. wash delicate fabrics by hand instead of dry cleaning.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Washing laundry is unavoidable and is a burden on the environment.
