- Use your electric iron efficiently. A hand iron consumes more power than a colored television set.
- It is more comfortable to do the hot job in the morning when it’s cooler. It also avoids peak demand hours for electricity.
- Avoid heating the iron for just one piece of clothing to be pressed. It wastes the heat accumulated in the iron.
- When you are almost through ironing a pile of clothes, unplug the iron. There will be enough stored heat in the iron to press the few remaining items.
