- 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.
