How to use washing machines and dryers to save electricity

Creating a cozy and peaceful summer home requires carefully selected appliances that enhance comfort without sacrificing style and efficiency. Appliances 4 Less Sugarland offers residents of Alvin, Conroe, Texas City, Galveston, and more a selection of opened, scratched, and dented appliances that are perfect for summer living. Here’s our guide to the must-have appliances for a cozy summer home.

In the fast-paced rhythm of modern life, washing machines and dryers, like smart notes, played the movement of convenient life. They make the chore of washing easier and more efficient, especially in the wet season, when the dryer can be a lifesaver. But when the monthly electric bill arrives, the mounting figures make many people wince. Is this combination of washing and baking destined to be an electric tiger? In fact, as long as the right way to master, they can also become a small power-saving expert.

Ⅰ.Accurate selection of washing procedure

The washing process of the washing machine is like a functional toolbox, different programs correspond to different clothing needs. But many people are accustomed to a button in the end, using the default strong washing mode, which often leads to unnecessary energy consumption. In fact, the dust on daily clothes, sweat stains, can be easily removed with a standard washing procedure, without high temperature heating and long time rubbing. And cold water washing mode is to save electricity“Sharp weapon”, because heating water electricity can account for a considerable proportion of the total energy consumption of washing machines. For slightly soiled clothing, the quick-wash program is the best choice. It can be done in as little as 10 minutes, saving time and energy. Only when you encounter stubborn stains or special materials of clothing, and then choose to power wash or special care procedures, so on-demand choice, can make the washing process more efficient and energy-saving.

Ⅱ.Smart drying strategy

Dryer is a big energy consumer, but as long as the use of smart strategy, can greatly reduce its power consumption.

1. Use low-temperature drying mode: low-temperature drying mode, although the drying time is slightly longer, but can be more gentle to remove moisture, protect clothing while saving energy. Data show that the choice of low-temperature drying mode, than high-temperature drying power saving 30%-50% .

2. Turn on the condensing recovery function: if the dryer supports the condensing recovery function, be sure to turn it on. It can convert moisture into water and discharge, reduce heat loss, further improve drying efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.

3. Use timing drying function: according to the clothing material, thickness and quantity, flexible setting drying time. After setting, the machine runs automatically, without special care, saving a lot of time and energy. When the preset time is reached, the dryer stops working on time, which can not only avoid the damage caused by excessive drying of clothes, but also effectively save energy.

Ⅲ.Load clothes properly

Washing machine drum capacity is not the larger the better, too much or too little load, will affect energy consumption. If the load is too small, the machine will idle and waste electricity. If the load is too large, the clothes can not be fully rolled, the washing is not complete, and the washing needs to be repeated. When drying, because the clothes accumulate, the hot air circulation is not smooth, which leads to the extension of the drying time, increased energy consumption. The ideal loading capacity is 70%-80% of the drum capacity. At this time, the clothes can be freely stretched in the drum, fully exposed to water and detergent when washing, and the hot air can evenly penetrate the clothes when drying, so as to achieve efficient washing and drying, at the same time, energy consumption will be kept to a minimum.

Ⅳ.Scientific classification of washing and drying

Washing and drying clothes of different materials and thicknesses together is a common practice for many people, but it is one of the“Culprits” that leads to increased energy consumption. Heavy clothing such as jeans, sweaters, etc. , need more time to dehydration, and light clothing such as shirts, skirts, etc. , it is easy to wind, affect the washing and drying effect. The scientific approach is based on the material and thickness of clothing classification. The cotton sheets, towels and other heavy items are classified into one category, chemical fiber shirts, sportswear and other light items are classified into another category, respectively, washing and drying. In this way, the washer and dryer can be for different clothing characteristics, with the most appropriate parameters to run, greatly shorten the working time, reduce energy consumption.

Conclusion

The way washing machines and dryers save electricity isn't some far-fetched piece of high technology. It's the little things that go into everyday life. As long as we use them in accordance with the scientific method of saving electricity, we can make this pair of washing and drying the convenient life for us at the same time, become a green pioneer of energy conservation and emission reduction. Let us start from each laundry drying, with practical action to practice the concept of green life, for the Earth home to contribute to the sustainable development of a force.
