Klen Laundry Enforces It’s Commitment To The Environment Through Conservation

TREE’S FOR T’S

Corona, CA

Through 2010, the earth-friendly brand of KleN Laundry has committed to plant a tree for each t-shirt sold. So the more shirts purchased, the greener your community will become. You are likely to see and enjoy more spruce, more oak, and more maple trees as KleN and the Arbor Day Foundation will plant and encourage growth throughout the nation’s forests as well as in surrounding communities.

“Working with the Arbor Day Foundation and tapping into their network of resources will spawn our ability to reduce our society’s footprint and overall impact to the environment,” commented KleN Founder Mark Froke. “To date we have planted a number of oak trees, palm trees and spruce trees. The commitment to getting KleN Trees planted in National Forests and various areas across the country is contagious. We have had an overwhelming response and support for this initiative. Many people have asked KleN to help plant trees in their neighborhoods and areas close to home in desperate need of growth and greens. For that I ask to help spread our message “Tree’s For T’s”. For every Shirt you buy, we plant a tree.”

Once a month we will purchase a number of trees equivalent to the number of shirts sold and we will continue to do this until the end of 2010 and potentially beyond.

Made from a clever mix of 68 percent bamboo, 27 percent organic cotton and 5 percent spandex, KleN Laundry undergarments are comfortable and cool. The moisture wicking, thermal regulating fabric holds up nicely after a long day at work, a furious session on the track, or a day on the mountain, KleN Laundry odor resistant properties will eliminate the funk from following you around.

KLeN Laundry was founded on specific core principles that focus on Comfort | Style | and utilizing Eco-Friendly Materials. KLeN Laundry – Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good. We wanted a company that wasn’t dirty, Our only option was to go KleN.

Doing laundry can be a chore for anyone. It often becomes a chore that most people want to avoid at all costs.  However, this does not have to be something that causes you a great deal of stress each day or week.  You simply need to know how to spice it up. 

You can make things a lot more enjoyable by creating a fun and creative workspace.  These small steps can help you do just that.

1.)   Try painting the room a color that you really like. Maybe the laundry room is currently in a dark location. Try brightening it up so that you feel good when you are in that area.  You will be amazed at how this can change your mood.

2.)   Become more organized.  When you spend most of your time looking for things it can increase the amount of time that is needed to complete the task.  When you are neat and organized you will be able to accomplish more and you will feel better.

3.)   Create a fun atmosphere by putting a television in that location or place a radio in the room.  Anything that helps pass the time can make your chores feel less like work. 

You may never really love doing laundry but the fact of the matter is it has to be done.  So, you might as well find a way to enjoy it a little bit more since you will be doing it for the rest of your life.

Another great tip for making laundry not such a chore is to pick a day in the week that you designate as “laundry day.” This will help you mentally prepare that you are going to do your laundry as well as make sure your dirty clothes do not build up to an over welling amount.  

For individuals that are trying to find ways to conserve energy they may not think about doing their laundry as an energy using task.  Following a few of the tricks mentioned below will really help you conserve energy when it comes to doing laundry.  

1.)   Try to do laundry a lot less often.  Many people seem to think that they need to wash their clothes after they wear them one time.  This is not the case, especially if you wear something for a short amount of time.  You need to think about how long you wore your outfit and what you were doing while you were wearing it.  For example, if you only wore your jeans for 2 hours and you were sitting in the car, you may not need to wash them.

2.)   Only wash your laundry when you have enough clothes to make a full load.  This will help you save a lot of energy and water.  It will also cut down on the amount of loads that you need to do.

3.)   Try using cold water instead of hot water all of the time. This will also help your clothes stay in good condition and will help reduce shrinking.

4.)   Think about getting a new washing machine if you are trying to conserve energy.  There are many new energy saving washing machines on the market.  If you are serious about saving energy then you might want to get a new energy efficient washing machine. 

There are a few simple tips here that you can do in order to conserve energy when you are doing your laundry.  As you can see, many of them are not going to cost you anything other than a new way of thinking and a new routine.  Try these things and see how you like them.   

Anyone with allergies knows what it’s like to slip on clothes washed in a new detergent. It can mean red, itchy skin, hives, or worse. To avoid an adverse reaction, use hypoallergenic laundry detergent. Hypoallergenic means that the product does not contain known allergens.

You need to find something with no scents, perfumes, or dyes. Look for a product that is easy on the environment, and that works in both cold and hot water. It may be easy on your allergies, but it should be able to be tough on stains. Read the label and make sure it will do all you need it to accomplish.

Watch for one that is concentrated, so you’ll get more loads of laundry per bottle.

Make sure that you take the time to check both the product and your washer for details on how best to fill it with detergent. Using too much or too little can cause irritation or lingering odors. If your laundry feels a bit sticky when it comes out, simply put it through a rinse cycle and it be fine.

Having allergies is no fun, and being allergic to products in your own home can be more than frustrating.

If you find that your clothes are making your skin crawl, and you think you might be having an allergic reaction, try going back to your old detergent or soap. Then change one product or food at a time and keep a diary, to see if you can spot when the change happens.

To be sure, bring your notes and the ingredient labels from the products in question to an allergy specialist and have them test you to confirm your suspicions.

Allergies can develop later in life, and they can also change. So something that never bothered you before can become an irritant out of the blue.

If this happens, then start using hypoallergenic laundry detergent and see how you feel.

If you find that your regular laundry soap is causing you to react, make sure that you check other possible causes at the same time. It may be a sign that your allergies are changing, and that it’s time to get retested.

Having a product like this on hand can be useful, especially if you have family or friends that visit, or little visitors whose clothing needs extra special care.

Always keep your detergent out of the way of children and pets, as it can be very dangerous for them to attempt to ingest it. Read the label to find out what to do in case of such an emergency.

In addition, there are many other hypoallergenic products on the market than can make a world of difference for those with sensitive skin. You can find a host of soaps, detergents for clothing and dishes, as well as cosmetics and skincare products for men and women.

If you don’t have allergies, don’t worry. You can still use hypoallergenic laundry detergent without a problem, and your laundry will come out fine.

All too often, we find ourselves too busy with life’s daily tasks – a business to run, reports to send, people to meet and socialize with – and there just is not enough time for life’s more mundane chores.  Like doing the laundry, particularly the laundry. Those precious times we spend waiting for the spinner to stop seem particularly ill-used when we know we could spend it doing more important and rewarding things like playing with our kids, finishing an assignment, even taking a good rest. Good thing there’s a simple solution to this problem: make use of laundry services.

We can consider the matter by looking at its costs and benefits. On the one hand, leaving the task of washing our clothes to other people, we fear that they may not take care of our items as we would have.  Also, we wonder, What if they lose my things? or, What if they don’t wash it properly? These are good considerations, of course, but let’s look at the facts on the other hand. For one, when we do wash our own clothes, we don’t really make any special effort in handling them. (We want to get through the task as soon as possible!) And have you ever found out particular instructions on how to wash a type of cloth after you’ve already washed them and damage has already been done? (I bet you have.)

Now, taking advantage of hiring launderettes, we can avoid the common problems that we meet when we do our own washings. Because these shops have trained personnel, they know and do the proper handling of your clothes. Also, because of their experience, the people you hire can identify which types of fabrics must be washed in a particular way (saving you not only money but also from embarrassment). And when your clothes are returned to you, you will find them already neatly folded and stacked you can put them to your wardrobes right away – no more need of hauling baskets after baskets and the mind-numbing task of folding and segregating. Adding to that, laundry services also offer other related services that you similarly would like to avoid – ironing and cleaning the carpet.

So, all in all, by availing of laundry services you can save yourself the time and effort wasted in doing your own laundry, plus your clothes get better cleaning quality. By making the best of their offered services, you no longer have to undergo the agonizing waiting for the washing machine to go off while worrying that more important work is not getting done. And the energy you use for your clothes – from collecting the laundry to its ironing – is used in doing the better and more pleasurable things in life.
