 +===== Water Temperature =====
 +
 +Should I even have this section here?  Most people will already know what to do!
 +
 +Wash in the lowest temperature that will clean your clothes sufficiently.  I tend to wash everything in warm water because my clothes get pretty dirty.  Warm water is between [[https://www.thespruce.com/laundry-and-water-temperature-1900646 |90F and 100F]] (my LG has 30C/86F and 40C/104F options).  I've been using 40C, but I think I will use 30C from now on, to save on energy and to keep my darks from fading.
 +
 +100% wool will shrink to half it's size when washed in 40C water.  Some dyes, when washed for the first time, will bleed onto the rest of your clothes, especially in warmer water, and your whites will never be white again.  These new items should be soaked separately to bleed out the excess dye.

-===== Use Low Heat =====+==== Use Low Heat ====
  
 Less energy is expended, and your clothes will last longer if you use low heat and dry for a longer period of time.  The dryer fan and tumbling motor consume less energy than the heating elements. Less energy is expended, and your clothes will last longer if you use low heat and dry for a longer period of time.  The dryer fan and tumbling motor consume less energy than the heating elements.

-===== Everything Together or Separate Loads =====+==== Everything Together or Separate Loads ====
  
 Some heavy articles take longer to dry, so should you dry two separate loads?  You want to protect clothes that dry faster from getting over-cooked. Some heavy articles take longer to dry, so should you dry two separate loads?  You want to protect clothes that dry faster from getting over-cooked.
