90 % of the energy used for the washing machine is from heating. There are now deterrents specially designed to clean with cold water. Using cold water also extends the life of your clothes and can save up to $60 for every few loads

Thanks for the tip! My clothes definitely do well with cold water. In light of going green, I'd also like to add this: make sure the detergent is "green" too.

I agree Jayne. I recently switched to all natural formaldehyde free detergent and it is working great.
