The "Green" Wash: How to Fight Microplastics in Your Laundry Room

Shirt Tag About Microplastics 600X400

It’s no secret that eco-conscious living is trending across the San Gabriel Valley, but many neighbors are surprised to learn that their synthetic workout gear and cozy fleeces shed thousands of tiny microplastics in every wash. To stay ahead of the curve, try washing in cold water and using shorter cycles; it prevents fibers from breaking down and keeps your clothes looking new for longer. If you’re looking to level up, mesh laundry bags or specialized filters are great at-home fixes, but the most effective way to go green is using high-efficiency, modern equipment that optimizes water usage.
