High Efficiency Machines

Our laundry rooms are equipped with high‐efficiency, front‐loading washing machines. They hold more clothes and use less water than conventional laundry equipment which saves you time and energy. For more information on these energy saving appliances and how they impact how you do laundry, visit clean and green vision.

What detergent should I buy?

For best results, use high efficiency (HE) detergent and always follow the manufacturer’s directions on the detergent bottle label. With HE washers and detergent – less is more, since it’s specially formulated for HE machines. Pre‐measured HE liquid packets are also recommended and are quite convenient.
