How Biden’s New Washing Machine Regulations Could Ruin Laundry Day

Manufacturers say government climate change initiative would make your washing cycles longer, clothes dirtier.

WFB:

When Cincinnati firefighter Ed Wallace bought a high efficiency Whirlpool washing machine, he came to regret the decision almost immediately. The machine used less water—not enough to clean Wallace’s work clothes—and his colleagues at the firehouse quickly took notice. “I walked past my guys and they say, ‘Dude, you stink!'” Wallace said. “I smelled myself, and yeah, that’s me stinking.”  

Now, President Joe Biden is pushing regulations that could force Wallace’s stinky situation upon millions of Americans.

Biden’s Energy Department last month proposed new efficiency standards for washing machines that would require new appliances to use considerably less water, all in an effort to “confront the global climate crisis.” Those mandates would force manufacturers to reduce cleaning performance to ensure their machines comply, leading industry giants such as Whirlpool said in public comments on the rule. They’ll also make the appliances more expensive and laundry day a headache—each cycle will take longer, the detergent will cost more, and in the end, the clothes will be less clean, the manufacturers say. 

The proposed washing machine rule marks the latest example of the administration turning to consumer regulations to advance its climate change goals. Last month, the Energy Department published an analysis of its proposed cooking appliance efficiency regulations, which it found would effectively ban half of all gas stoves on the U.S. market from being sold. The department has also proposed new efficiency standards for refrigerators, which could come into effect in 2027. “Collectively these energy efficiency actions … support President Biden’s ambitious clean energy agenda to combat the climate crisis,” the Energy Department said in February.

  1. So now with these new clothes washers, we’ll have run them through three wash cycles, adding detergent each time to get our clothes clean. this will result in using at least 100% more water and 200% more detergent than the old machines that could accomplish the same thing in one cycle. Now this will cause our water bills and detergent bills go go up dramatically, resulting in yet another form of inflation. Puddin Brain strikes again.

  3. Buy a top loader.
    Use the extra water.
    Be able to SOAK by opening the lid.

    You save in the long run because they generally last longer & don’t break down as much.
    A new front loader lasted me 7 years & shit itself (bearings collapsed)
    I went back to a top loader & am on Year 14 currently

    GAS DRYER – VERY BASIC

    Stoves, washers, cars… they already did tvs, toilets cars….

    Keep an eye out for foot-pedal showers, to save water. And solar toasters, you put the bread in a glass toaster and stay in bed until 10am so it has a chance to heat up during DST.
