Save on electricity when you’re washing clothes by using the soak cycle. The soak cycle will fill the washer, agitate the load a little and then let it sit, just “soaking” in the sudsy water. After soaking a little while, run a short wash cycle and let it rinse and spin as normal.
How does this save money? Well, when the washer is “soaking” it’s cleaning your clothes without using any electricity. Run the shorter cycle after soaking and your clothes are getting just as clean with less electricity than run them on a normal wash cycle.

You can also save money by using homemade detergent. Average per load cost is about 1 cent per load with a front load washer.
