There is a lot you and your family can do to reduce your impact on the environment or carbon foot print. Here are some tips and ideas to help your laundry experience be Eco-Friendly: |
As with all things green, less is more. When you use concentrated household products it means you are using less, which means smaller amounts of products that are not truly needed. It also means fewer amounts of packaging that pollute our world.
Most cans of Aerosol spray contain N20, a greenhouse gas that is 300 times worse than C02 for heating the atmosphere. Cans are also harder to recycle or reuse because they are made from steel. They are recyclable, but have you ever tried melting steel in your kitchen. Moreover many propellants are flammable, so it's dangerous to use aerosol cans around open flames.

Powder is easier on the environment and the more eco-friendly choice. It’s lack of water makes it more energy efficient to transport around the country. Powders also work better than water based liquids, because the water in liquids causes chemicals to break down making most products less effective. |
|
Read the labels on the back of your laundry products. Watch out for the preservatives in liquid starch. You don’t have to harvest rain water to be green. But you can do your part by shopping with eco-conscious companies |

Front loading washing machines use less water, less laundry products and less energy than traditional top loading machines. A typical energy-efficient washer uses 20 to 28 gallons of water per load, while a typical standard top loading machine uses 40 to 45 gallons.
Used in front loaders, you'll get more loads out of your PEAL Starch. Normally per load you need 2 ½ cups or 8 oz for medium stiffness. With front loaders you’ll need about half 1 ¼ cups for medium.

Protect Our Environment. You can’t beat sunshine when it comes to drying clothes. Clothing looks new longer, when it is hung to dry.
Using a lower water level in your washing machine helps conserve water usage and also cost. Imagine how much water you conserve per month when you lower the water level in a washer that uses 40 – 45 gallons of water per load! |

If you air dry your cloths after using PEAL Starch you'll get more stiffness. The tumbling and heat in dryers can be rough on your clothes and actually reduces stiffness by at least 40%! Best of all, air-drying is free! Another great way to save!!
