Great tips! My friend and I have a laundry service and we use quite a few of these. An additional way to cut down drying costs is tossing some tennis balls into the dryer. They cut drying time down by about 25% while fluffing bulky items at the same time. Philadelphia Laundry Care

Between my boyfriend and I, we have 1 load of laundry per week and go to the laundromat. We spend $1.75 to wash a load, bring it home and hang it to dry. I make my own soap and use vinegar with essential oil as fabric softener. I have never calculated the savings, but it sounds like we must be one of the lowest around. I don’t believe there is such a thing as too much laundry~TOO MANY CLOTHES is more like it. We each have 1 towel and use it all week~it is, afterall, JUST WATER!!!. Many people are obsessed with using a clean towel daily. We wear our clothes more then once; underwear is the only thing we change daily. I’m not sure, but I doubt anyone can beat our deal. Our electric bill runs about $19.00 a month because we do not have a washer or dryer. Oh, did I also mention we WALK to the laundromat where we have actually seen people just DUMP their detergent and fabric softener in, and we saw one gal use an entire bottle of fabric softener between 3 loads..she kept dumping it in throughout the cycle and we have NO idea why.

You can save about $100 a year and use much less energy by using a spin dryer such as at http://www.laundry-alternative.com
They are about 100 times as energy efficient as a conventional tumble dryer and gentler on your clothes, which will last longer and look better as a result.

Your introduction neglects to mention how buying in bulk saves money and the planet — less packaging produced/consumed over the long term — fewer truckloads of transport — less fuel consumed — reduced emissions — and more. Think again about gigantic tubs. It’s about the environment silly
