Your Questions About Green Living

Daniel asks…

What kind of washer and dryer should I save up for?

I use baby softener a loy,i never used a washer or dryer by myself before im kind of scared of ruining my clothes? What ones easy to use,i’m all for ecofriendly but i like my clothes washed in hot water so I can wear my clothes asap ( I dont have enough clothes)
I’m moving into a house,im not sure if it comes with a washer or dryer yet,ill have to check.

The Expert answers:

You should save up for something like a front loading washer and/or dryer. As the front loaders pays for itself in-terms of the water usage, they don’t really use up that much energy and they generally clean clothes better.

Cleaning clothes in hotter water doesn’t speed up the cycle, it actually slows the process due to the water heating.

Some of the front loading washers even have a steaming function, that steam cleans your clothes for that quick fresh-up and on the go. Check with your local appliance retailer for selection.

Ruth asks…

What should I buy my hippy sister for her birthday?

She is 28 and really into everything ecofriendly. She is a vegan and loves animals but hates consumerism. So she doesn’t want gift cards to clothing stores or anything like that. So I need help!

The Expert answers:

You could get her jewellery or bracelets ? You can actually get bracelets which can look quite hippie along with those flower head bands Some bracelets you can find actually have things written on them to support eco friendliness etc. Search around.

You might find something she’ll like on these websites 🙂
