Which means that you're paying from 22¢ to 57¢ in energy alone with every load of laundry. Over 70% of the cost of washing a load of laundry is in heating the water. If you have a gas water heater, a load washed in warm water and rinsed in cold will cost you about 8¢. But if you have an electric water heater, the same load will cost roughly 21¢. So get the most for your money, and make every effort to wash full loads. Buy Gas When You Have The Choice Electric dryers are often less expensive to buy than their gas counterparts. But, the energy savings you'll see from a gas dryer will more than offset the additional cost to buy one. Don't Overwork Your Clothes Most clothes only need a 10-15 minute wash cycle to get clean. Overdrying will make them stiff, wrinkled and nearly impossible to iron. They'll wear out faster too. So wash and dry for only as long as necessary. A load dried for 30 minutes can cost from 14¢ (gas dryer) to 36¢ (electric dryer). Since you're going to spend that much, you might as well dry a full load.

Use Cold Water As Often As Possible Washing in cold water will get most clothes just as clean. Besides, they'll fade less and have fewer wrinkles. You might even save on ironing (which costs another 7¢ per hour). Save washing in warm water for whites or hard-to-clean items.

Public Works Officer Asst Public Works Officer PUBLIC WORKSA&E BRANCHAC/S G-F HOMEPAGE “Sustaining Quality of Life in the Barracks” • October-December 2015 Volume 2, Issue 4 • July-September 2015 Volume 2, Issue 3 Jump to: navigation, search A navy shower (also known as a "combat shower", "military shower", "sea shower", "staggered shower", or "G.I. bath") is a method of showering that allows for significant conservation of water and energy by turning off the flow of water in the middle portion of the shower while lathering. Soldiers are sometimes trained to keep the total time of the water flow to under two minutes – using an initial thirty seconds or so to get wet, followed by shutting off the water, using soap and lathering, then rinsing for a minute or less. Navy showers originated on naval ships, where supplies of fresh water were often scarce.

Using this method, crew members were able to stay clean, while conserving their limited water supply. The concept has also been adopted by some other people who wish to conserve water and the energy needed to heat the water, for both environmental and economic reasons. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, water heating is typically the second-largest energy expense in homes (after space heating). Maritime cruisers often take navy showers when they are not in a port with easy access to fresh water. A ten-minute shower takes as much as 230 liters (60 U.S. gal) of water, while a navy shower usually takes as little as 11 liters (3 U.S. gal); one person can save up to 56,000 liters (15,000 U.S. gal) per year. In United States Navy parlance, the term "Hollywood shower" contrasts with a navy shower, referring to a long shower with very high water usage.

Typically, the weight is measured by grams per square meter (GSM) and will range from 1200 to 2100 GSM. Bath mats and rugs with a weight of 1200 GSM fall on the lighter end of the spectrum. This lighter weight might not feel as soft or plush as heavier-weave options, but it typically offers a lower cost and ultra-fast drying convenience. Whether placed in front of the sink or next to the shower, 1200 GSM bath mats and rugs make a good choice for keeping floors dry. Bath rugs made of 100% cotton - like this luxury banded bath mat - are soft to the touch and durable. Cotton bath mats are also extremely absorbent when compared to nylon and polyester bath mats.

For easy care, the bath mat can be machine washed and tossed in the dryer--or hung out on the clothesline to dry on a warm, sunny day.VDOMUS Non-slip Microfiber Bath Mat Bathroom Mats Shower Rugs, 20"*32" Gray Pinzon Luxury Reversible Cotton Bath Mat - 30 x 50 inch, Marine Pinzon Luxury Loop Cotton Bath Mat - 21 x 34 inch, Marine See all 508 customer reviews See all 508 customer reviews (newest first) I kind of figured for the price I wasn't going to get something amazeballs, but for having "Luxury" in the title I was a bit disappointed with these mats. Bunches up on the floor and doesn't dry well I love these bath mats. I ordered two, one in the Sage and one in the white. They are super plush even after many, many washings, and they dry really quickly. The bath mat was fine,but much smaller than my old one. The reason I feel it should only be one star is because a tag says 'flammable-fails U.S. Department of Commerce standards'. not the quality that I wanted
