Use Water Wisely In the Laundry

 
 

Run your washing machine only when full.  Washing machines use 30-60 gallons per load.  For smaller loads, adjust the water level setting, or wait until you have enough for a full load.

 

Presoak heavily soiled items before placing them in the washer to avoid having to wash them twice.

 

Use a minimum of detergent to avoid rinsing more than once.

 

Handwash and rinse in a stoppered sink, not under running water.

 

Look for and fix leaky faucets, hose connections, pipes, and joints.
