Save Money with your Washing Machine

Here at Save Money with Chelsea, I said I'd post a tip to save money in every post I made. Well here is today's tip to save money:

Washing machines are a huge drain on your electricity bill as it is without using them to heat up teh water they use to clean your clothes. But have you ever wondered why you even need to use hot water these days, when modern washing powders and liquids are so efficient at doint that for you?

Well, my mum has been using the "cold" setting on her machine for years now and the clothes come out every bit as clean as when she used to use hot. The electricity bill is a lot lower, especially when you do a wash every single day! Not only that, but you're also being kind to the environment by cutting back on your use of electricity that has to be generated using fossil fuels in the main (or worse, nuclear power - aarrgghh!).

So that's my save money tip for today!
