WASHING & THE<br />
ENVIRONMENT<br />
Washing and drying at home, accounts<br />
for 75% of the energy used<br />
in the lifecycle of a garment, so it<br />
is really an area in which you have<br />
an impact on the environment.<br />
We recommend that for best<br />
cleaning you wash your clothes<br />
at the temperature shown on<br />
the care label. However, in many<br />
cases where a garment really<br />
only needs to be refreshed rather<br />
than cleaned, it is ok to wash at<br />
30ºC. Natural drying on a line<br />
or rack will reduce the amount<br />
of energy used in the aftercare<br />

Do not<br />
dry-clean<br />
process. However, it is not always<br />
practical, especially with Northern<br />
European weather and therefore<br />
many people use tumble driers.<br />
As with all domestic machinery<br />
buying a dryer that has a good<br />
energy rating will help to ensure<br />
you are using energy in the most<br />
efficient way. Water is a precious<br />
commodity. In order to help minimize<br />
your usage try the following:<br />
• ALWAYS WASH A FULL LOAD<br />
• PRE-WASHING IS NOT NEEDED<br />
FOR MOST GARMENTS<br />
• IF YOU HAVE A CONDENSER<br />
DRY, REUSE THE WATER – IT’S<br />
GREAT IN IRONS.<br />
