Go For Cold To Conserve Energy and Cash

The Benefits of Using Cold Water in Your Washer

• Attractive energy savings. Around 80%-90% of the energy typically used by a washer goes to heating the water.
• More cash. The average household saves $61 per year by forgoing hot for cold.
• Desirable CO2 cuts. In a year, each household that washes with only cold water keeps 1,281 pounds of CO2 from entering the air.
• Hotter colors with cold. Washing in cold water keeps your clothes looking newer, longer than hot water washing.

Just switch the knob on your washer to Cold. You don't even need to use a cold-water detergent.
