Laundry tips

By Earth911
Wednesday, June 13, 2007

  • Wash your clothes in cold water using cold-water detergents whenever possible.

  • Wash and dry full loads. If you are washing a small load, use the appropriate

    water-level setting.

  • Dry towels and heavier cottons in a separate load from lighter-weight clothes.

  • Don’t over-dry your clothes. If your machine has a moisture sensor, use it.

  • Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.

  • Use the cool-down cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the residual

    heat in the dryer.

  • Periodically inspect your dryer vent to ensure it is not blocked. This will

    save energy and may prevent a fire. Manufacturers recommend using rigid venting

    material, not plastic vents that may collapse and cause blockages.

  • Look for the ENERGY STAR® and EnergyGuide labels

Amelia's Bistro, Bellbrook, restaurant review [review]

Salad from Amelia's Bistro, Bellbrook

Call it comfort food, gourmet style. From crab raviolis with vanilla lobster sauce, to a hand-cut and brined pork chop served with a fig jam, to a simply "Big-Ass Cake" that's a chocolate lover's dream, Amelia's has the potential to become a destination restaurant — worth the drive to Bellbrook.
