✔ Air drying saves electricity and extends clothing lifespan.
✔ If using a dryer, clean the lint filter regularly to improve efficiency.
✔ Use dryer balls to reduce drying time and fluff clothes naturally.
5. Use Vinegar & Baking Soda as Natural Boosters
✔ Add ½ cup of white vinegar to remove odors, soften clothes, and prevent detergent buildup.
✔ Baking soda (½ cup) enhances cleaning and eliminates stains.
✔ Both ingredients replace fabric softeners and keep your washing machine clean.
6. Maintain Your Washing Machine
✔ Run a hot water cycle with vinegar once a month to prevent mold buildup.
✔ Clean the detergent tray and door seal to keep your machine in top shape.
✔ Use high spin speeds to remove excess water and cut drying time.
7. Wash Clothes Less Often
✔ Not all clothes need frequent washing—jeans, sweaters, and jackets can be worn multiple times before washing.
✔ Spot clean stains instead of washing entire garments.
