Washing clothes is often thought of as a boring chore. You don’t do it until you really, really have to. It can also be an expensive proposition running your own washer and dryer. There are ways to cut back. In terms of laundry detergent you can save a bundle if you don’t use any at all.
Yes, for clothes that are just slightly dirty no laundry detergent might have the same impact as a cup of your favorite brand. If you’re looking for that fresh clean smell that might be coming more from your dryer clothe then the soap. You could also head over to YouTube to find a How To video on making your own detergent. It’s not that complicated and can save you some serious bucks.
If you’re not ready to give up on the laundry detergent just yet, at least try cutting back. The makers love it when you fill up the cup they provide but do you really need that much? Go for half a cup and see if you get the same result. Doesn’t that work when you’ve found yourself running out of detergent? Additionally, try buying your detergent in bulk. You’ll always save more.
You can also cut back on the laundry overall. You don’t need to wash the same article of clothing or towel after every single use. On the other hand, sending a lot of clothes to the dry cleaner is a big dent for your wallet. Stick with the machine washables. Saving money on your energy bills means cutting back on the hot temperature. Wash everything in cold or stick to warm and cold. Keep away from the hot and you can cut your energy use by up to 50%.

An EnergyStar machine means it has been redesign to operate at peak efficiency. You could even be eligible for a rebate when you turn in your old machine for a new, improved model.

Even though we’re still a few weeks away from Earth Day, volunteers are getting a head start in the Dallas/Fort Worth area by participating in the 28th annual Cowtown Great American Clean-Up. So far, over 5,200 folks have registered to be part of the neighborhood cleanup. As with the previous clean ups, supplies and gear were distributed the Friday before the big day. Then it was all about scouring through the public areas picking up whatever doesn’t belong. That includes bottles, fast food wrappers, cigarette butts and soda cans. The volunteers will also find the occasional abandoned shopping carts, tires and sofa. All of those oversized items will also be collected by specially designated trucks. If the previous years are any indication, there will probably be close to a ton or so of garbage collected and disposed of. Not bad for a single day’s work.
