Cleaning clothes with washing machine is the easiest task for every woman giving them much time for other works. But did you know there are many drawbacks too? Especially using the washing machine for laundry may affect our environment?
According to one of the studies, on average, a washing machine uses 41 gallons of water per load. Each year, on an average a household have almost 400 loads of laundry using 13,500 gallons of water. A front load washing machine with energy star certification can save up to 7000 gallons of water per year which indirectly help us to save earth’s safe water sources.

It is always better to choose eco-friendly laundry techniques to save the water as well as the earth. Moreover, one can try various laundry tools like washing plungers to lessen the effort.
