On a scale of 1 to 10, how hot is the water in your clothes washer? Well, you should go for 1 – cold – to conserve energy and cash. Except in cases of gross-out dirtiness, cold’s as effective as hot, keeping your clothes (and you) looking fierce.
In fact there are lots of benefits you can have. Like energy savings. Around 80%-90% of the energy typically used by a washer goes to heating the water. Also more cash for sexy outfits. The average household saves $61 per year by forgoing hot for cold. Likewise, desirable CO2 cuts. In a year, each household that washes with only cold water keeps 1,281 pounds of CO2 from entering the air. And lastly, hotter colors with cold, washing in cold water keeps your clothes looking newer, longer than hot water washing. So, go for cold water now!
