Turn your laundry area to a sustainable nook

Take a peek at your laundry room and what do you see? Many of our laundry and cleaning essentials can be switched with ecological options for a more sustainable lifestyle. These little changes can make a huge difference.

Sorting and recycling

Every laundry routine results in waste in the form of water, empty packets, or other materials such as lint. These inevitable byproducts can be sorted to different categories. Sort your plastics from other contaminated trash for safe and easier recycling.

Handwash some clothes

Give your machine a break every now and then. Consider handwashing certain clothes and linens. It’s friendlier not only to the environment but also to the fabric.

Hang them dry

The dryer is a truly convenient machine that we all love to utilize as much as possible. However, it simply isn’t that ecological to use a dryer every time we do our laundry. Hang your freshly washed clothes to air dry them. It consumes zero electricity and produces less wrinkles, so you don’t have to press it for much longer.

Change your tap

Aside from saving energy, saving water is possible when doing your washing routines. Mixer taps – as its name suggests – have little devices inside that mixes in air with the water flow so you consume less water.

Consider what you’re washing

Do you ever look at the care instructions of the products you buy? Most of these materials have specific wash instructions that are designed to lengthen the lifespan of the product. Follow these instructions and extend the use of your clothes. In the future, consider higher quality fabrics. For instance, check the thread count of your bedroom linens; the higher it is, the softer and more durable the fabric is!
