1. Resource Efficient Clothes Washers (RECW) wash clothes cleaner.
The first thing folks notice is that their finished laundry feels softer even without using fabric softeners. That’s because these machines rinse the clothes better and get out more of the detergent. Oh, yes, and require much less detergent than the old agitator models. Exactly how much less depends on the type of detergent so you will probably have to experiment a bit. The main thing to keep in mind is that you DON'T WANT TO OVERSUDS the machine. That will reduce the cleaning action. Try only a third as much as you formerly used for starters.
2. RECW's wash clothes more gently.
Old agitator-type machines stir up your clothes to get them clean. Tumble action machines gently tumble them. Most folks immediately notice less lint in their dryers and less pilling. Later they notice their clothes last longer. Eventually they begin to launder delicate items they once did by hand or sent out to the dry cleaners. Imagine confidently washing lingerie or wool sweaters in a machine!!!
3. RECW's run more quietly than conventional machines.
Forget about having to turn up the volume on the radio when you do laundry. Tumble action machines run so quietly some new users thought their machine wasn’t running at all. This feature is particularly valuable if your laundry facility is near apartments.
4. RECW's handle large and bulky items with ease.
Now your tenants won't have go out to the laundromat to wash quilts, pillows or sleeping bag. They can wash these items in a standard size tumble action machine. These machines actually wash better when you stuff them full when loading. Once the clothes get wet they shrink in volume and no longer completely fill the tub.
5. RECW's are much friendlier to the environment.
These high efficiency machines use about 60% less energy and 40% less water than conventional agitator machines. That means much less stress on our natural resources and a cleaner conscience for you along with cleaner clothes.
