1. Reduce frequent wash
Most people wash more clothes than they actually need to. Although you undoubtedly want your clothing to be spotless and smell fantastic, you might still be washing them too frequently. For instance, unless you are wearing them for extremely intense work or they become obviously soiled or ruined, a pair of jeans typically doesn’t need to be washed after every use. As a general rule, only clothing that is worn up against your skin, such as socks, undergarments, and tight-fitting T-shirts or tank tops used as base layers, needs to be washed after each wear. Those things need to be cleansed more frequently since they will absorb more of the sweat and oil from your skin. For other goods, use your best judgement and think twice before washing any that appear to be in good shape after a few wears.2. Utilize a green detergent

You may help the environment by using less energy for the entire load by keeping the temperature low on your dryer and washing machine. Then, in addition to the environmental advantages, using less heat is excellent for your clothes, and you will discover that this modification makes your clothing live longer. So, everyone benefits!4. Avoid chemical dry cleaning
Do your best to avoid chemicals if you want to lessen the impact of laundry on the environment. Due to their use of harsh chemicals during the cleaning process, commercial dry cleaners have a bad reputation for harming the environment. Simply avoid purchasing any clothing that says “dry clean only” if at all possible. This will allow you to maintain all laundry tasks within the confines of your own house, where you have complete control over the methods and materials employed.5. Dry clothes on hooks
This idea complements the first one we made earlier about doing less laundry. Your overall environmental impact will decrease if you use your machines less frequently. Additionally, by drying your clothes outside rather than in the dryer, you can use less energy overall. Once you start hanging, just keep going because some items of clothing can’t (or shouldn’t) be dried. (After all, refraining from using the dryer and its heat can extend the lifespan of your clothing.)6. Get the Proper Equipment
Okay, so this is probably not a piece of advice that you will immediately start using. When the time does come to buy a new washing machine, though, you may protect the environment by choosing an energy-efficient one. In general, front-loading machines are more effective than top-loading machines; they require about half as much water to achieve the same result, which, if you have to pay for water, will benefit your wallet over time.7. Put the iron away
The final piece of advice on our list will likely be appreciated because it gets rid of an annoying task from your to-do list: ironing. As you might expect, irons draw a lot of power to get as hot as they do. Therefore, try to avoid ironing clothes as part of your usual laundry routine.
Try to purchase clothing instead that won’t require ironing. Even though you might not be able to completely avoid ironing, you can still help the environment by minimising this energy-hungry laundry task.
