Eco-Friendly Laundry Tips That Save Water and Energy

Clean clothes shouldn’t come at the cost of a dirty planet. The laundry industry uses a lot of water and energy, but with a few small adjustments, you can make a big difference. Here’s how to keep your laundry routine sustainable — without sacrificing freshness.

1️⃣ Wash with Cold Water

Most fabrics clean perfectly well in cold water. It saves energy, protects colors, and reduces shrinkage — a win for both your clothes and the environment.

2️⃣ Use Eco-Friendly Detergents

Look for biodegradable, phosphate-free detergents that break down safely. That’s exactly what we use at BRushFord Laundry — gentle on fabrics and gentle on nature.

3️⃣ Air Dry When Possible

Tumble dryers consume a lot of energy. Drying clothes on a rack or line occasionally keeps them fresh and saves power.

4️⃣ Combine Loads

Fewer loads mean less water and detergent use. Fill the washer just right — not too empty, not too full — to clean efficiently.

5️⃣ Support Sustainable Services

Choosing a laundry service that prioritizes eco-conscious methods (like BRushFord Laundry) helps reduce your overall carbon footprint.
