4. Always wash full loads
If you want to save money on laundry, you should definitely consider this tip. Let’s say that you have a few clothes that you want to wash in your laundry bag. They are all white, and you say to yourself, “Why not have them washed right now? I have some free time, and I can do this now.” You put them in the machine, and they only fill it partially.
If you find yourself doing this from time to time, you should know that the washing machine uses the same amount of energy and water, no matter how full the drum is. The best strategy is to always wash full loads.
Remember that the washing cycle is not as effective as it can be if you are packing the clothes inside until there is no space left. Never forget to leave a little bit of space in the washing machine. The ideal load size is when your hand can fit between your clothing and the drum wall.
