You woke up slightly early on Sunday so you can begin your chores that need to be done before you go back to work Monday. You have a pile of dishes in the sink and a pile of clothing that both need to be cleaned. Before you start both tasks, you might want to reconsider how you complete your chores! We looked at just how much energy each appliance typically uses to help you out.
Check out the wattage:
Washing Machine =
1,000 Wattage OR Dishwasher = 1,500 Wattage
Throw that pile of dirty laundry into the washer and hit start! If you want to save energy, put on some gloves and opt to wash the dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher! To make the process go by faster, have someone help you dry the dishes while you wash them!
