Eco-Friendly Laundry Tips

Eco-friendly laundry practices help the planet while also saving money and extending the life of your clothing.

Wash in Cold Water

Washing in cold water (30°C) saves up to 90% of energy compared to hot water. Care label temperatures indicate the maximum allowable temperature, not the required temperature. Most clothes come out just as clean in cold water.

Reduce Wash Frequency

• Jeans don't need washing after every wear
• Outer layers that don't touch skin can be washed less
• Air out clothes instead of washing if there are no stains

Choose Eco-Friendly Detergent

• Use concentrated detergent to reduce packaging
• Choose biodegradable formulas
• Use the right amount — more isn't better

Air Dry Instead of Tumble Dry

Dryers consume significant energy. Natural air drying saves electricity and is gentler on fabrics.
