iCONSUMER EDUCATION : CARE FOR YOUR PRODUCTS
TUR products alone are very simple to care for. An average North American household washes 400 loads of laundry per year. This
accumulated number of washes requires 13,500 gallons of water to complete. There are very simple and eco –friendly ways that will cut the
cost of money and water, while making your clothes last longer. TUR's products are made with made with materials that alleviates odor and
fights off dirt, allowing several wears before washing. Hand washing makes you aware of how much laundry you typically generating each
week. Although dryers use approximately the same amount of energy from model to model, energy can still be conserved during the drying
process if air-dryed. According to the California Energy Commission, line-drying your clothes can save you $85 a year. Line-drying also
preserves your clothing (lint is made up of the fibers beat out of your clothing during machine drying). If the dryer method is preferred,
separate each piece of clothing before adding to the dryer.
Use the auto-dry feature on the dryer and avoid using the dryer to “fluff” clothing, and be sure that your dryer's filter is clean. To decrease
hot water usage and preserve energy, use the lowest temperature setting possible. Reserve the warm and hot settings for use only with
heavily soiled clothing, which requires warmer temperature for stain removal. When loading the washing machine, fill the washer to capacity,
without overloading the machine. To maximize energy conservation, only wash full loads of laundry. Front-loading washers use 40-75% less
water and 30-85% less energy than typical top-loaders. They cost about $100 more than top-loaders (starting around $500), but they can
often save $100/year or more. Front-load washers squeeze more of the water out of your clothes, so you'll spend less on drying. To contribute
further to caring for your TUR products and focus on a more sustainable living, consider the type of laundry detergent that is being used. Use
an eco-friendly laundry detergent and avoid the use of bleach and other harsh cleansers.
