I have started soaking my clothes in the washer instead of letting them agitate (I let the washer fill and agitate a little to mix up the detergent with the clothes). I let them soak for a few hours or overnight and then agitate them for about one minute, then I let them spin for about half the time before the rinse cycle, and let the rinse and spin cycle go normally.
I only use about half as much detergent as recommended, and add about an ounce of bleach to each load.
After the washer stops, I open the lid and “fluff” the clothes and let them air dry for a couple of hours before I put them in the dryer.
Are my clothes getting clean? Anybody have tips to save more energy aroung the house?
