What about doing laundry myself?
Even doing your own laundry carries a significant cost
High Energy Usage
Each load of laundry uses high amounts of energy. A dryer is responsible for 6% of your home's energy use. If you have multiple people in your household, the utility bills can add up quickly!
2,000 Gallons of Water
The average washing machine uses 41 gallons of water per load. Even if you do 1 load of laundry per week, that's over 2,000 gallons a year!
$115+ in Electricity Bills
Washers and dryers use a lot of electricity. The combined cost of doing laundry can add up to more than $115 a year for the electricity alone.
