Ironing Energy Saver Tips
A hand iron consumes as much energy as ten 100-watt light bulbs when it is on. These steps can increase ironing efficiency:
  • Buy “no iron” sheets and clothing and use the permanent press cycle on your washer and dryer.
  • Remove your clothing promptly from the dryer and hang carefully. Many items will require no ironing.
  • Iron large batches of clothing at one time.
  • Iron low-temperature fabrics first to reduce warm-up time.
  • Prevent scorching and wasting energy by not overheating the iron.
  • Hang clothes in the bathroom while you shower--the steam often smoothes wrinkles.
  • If interrupted when ironing, be sure to turn off your iron.
