laundry

The modern family’s frequent use of washing machines for clothes leads to several drawbacks, including high electricity and water usage, environmental damage from detergent runoff, and faster wear and tear on clothing. Research emphasizes the high energy consumption during the consumer use phase of a cotton t-shirt’s life cycle, suggesting more environmentally friendly washing practices like using energy-efficient machines, washing at lower temperatures, and homemade stain removers, as advised by academic Tullia Jack from the University of Melbourne.
