Have you ever noticed how much money you spend on doing your laundry? The cost of doing laundry is one of those household expenses that has gradually increased over the years. One reason we may not notice how much we spend on doing the laundry is because of all the different variables that are added into the final cost, including:
The type and the age of the washer and dryer usedThe average of how many loads of laundry are washed weekly
The cost of laundry detergents, fabric softeners, fabric scents, bleach, etc.How much hot or cold water is usedThe cost of utilities - electricity, gas, and water
According to government and state agencies, the average U.S. household does 350 to 400 loads of laundry each year. The average cost of laundry detergents runs around 21 cents per load, or $80 a year. That amount increases when you include how much money is spent on fabric softeners, bleach, or any other laundry additives.
When you add in the cost of gas, electricity, and water, the figure jumps up to $325 to over $500 a year to do the laundry, depending on the household. However, these are not fixed amounts. There are basic steps that can immediately lower the costs of doing the laundry.

10 Things to Do Now to Lower the Cost of Doing Laundry

- Discontinue using hot water when washing clothes. According to Michael Bluejay, also known as Mr. Electricity, “As much as 90 percent of the energy used by washing clothes goes just to heat the water.”
If the thought of never using hot water leaves you cold, consider adjusting to washing with warm water and a cold rinse, which can on average save you 50 percent of your laundry costs.
Use less laundry detergent. Many of us are in the habit of filling the cap and pouring it into the washing machine instead of following the laundry detergent guidelines. Overloading your washing machine with detergent will not get your clothing any cleaner.
Make your own laundry detergent. The average homemade laundry detergent will cost an average of 4 cents a load.
Avoid doing small loads of laundry, unless you can adjust the settings of your washing machine to accommodate the size. Try to stick to full loads as often as possible.
Wash light-weight and heavy-weight items separately. Heavy, bulky items, like towels, jeans, robes, and bed throws tend to absorb water which increases the drying time.
Use inexpensive laundry detergents and additives, like a cup of baking soda per load, to help clean heavily soiled items. A cap full vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser will assist odor control and will act as a fabric softener.
Avoid over-drying your laundry. If your dryer has a moisture alert, automatically turning off the dryer when the load is dry, use it.
Clean the lint trap after drying each load of laundry. Not doing so restricts airflow and will increase the amount of drying time. Excess lint in the lint trap is also a fire hazard.
On warm days hang laundry outside to dry. It is free, Eco-friendly, and the sun kills bacteria.
Clean clothes only when necessary. Teens sometimes have a problem in this area and will let clothes pile up instead of putting them away. Taking the time to put away clean clothes away will ensure that clean and dirty clothes stay separated.

Tips to Cut the Cost of Laundry Detergents
Laundry Detergant. joshblake / Getty Images
To increase your stash of laundry detergent coupons, cut and keep all that you see, even if it is a brand you have never used. Be on the alert when a store like Target offers a coupon for the same item for which you have an additional coupon from the manufacturer. This will allow you to stack your coupons by using both Target’s coupon and the manufacturer’s coupon for extra savings. Check your Catalina coupons for laundry coupons. Many times when you buy one kind of laundry detergent, you will receive a Catalina for another brand. The Sunday Coupon Preview lists coupons that will be in the Sunday circulars. When you see your laundry detergent listed, you can buy multiple copies of your newspaper and ask friends for their discarded circulars. While shopping, check coupons on tear pads and coupon hang tags that are placed around the necks of detergents.
