SIMPLE ENERGY-SAVING TIPS (Part 9)

Iron Clothes Once a Week

Did you know that ironing your clothes once a week not only keeps you looking neat but also helps reduce energy use? It is true! Here is how:

Less Energy Consumption: Ironing clothes once a week means you are not constantly running the iron for just a few pieces. By setting aside some time once a week to iron your clothes, you are reducing the number of times you plug in and use energy-consuming appliances.

Environmental Impact: Cutting down on energy usage is not just good for your wallet; it is fantastic for the planet too! Less electricity means a reduced carbon footprint, contributing to a greener and more sustainable environment.

Pro Tip: To make this easier, designate a specific day each week for ironing. Begin with clothes that require lower temperatures and then move on to those needing higher heat settings. Once ironed, hang or fold your clothes right away to prevent wrinkles from forming again.

Extend Clothing Lifespan: Regular ironing can also prolong the life of your clothes. It helps maintain their shape and prevents the need for excessive washing or dry cleaning, which in turn conserves water and reduces chemical use.
