Tip of the Month - A cleaner way to clean

A cleaner way to clean

Did you know?
80% of dry cleaners in the U.S. use perchloroethylene, a solvent that has been linked to cancer, nervous system damage and hormonal disruption. Seek out a non-toxic professional dry cleaning alternative or "green cleaner" in your area.

If your washing machine has a setting for the amount of clothing you're washing, choose a low setting—you'll use less water and your clothes will get just as clean. Using cold water can save up to 80% of the energy required to wash clothes.

Use less hot water. Washing your clothes in cold or warm instead of hot water can save as much as 500 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

The average washing machine uses about 41 gallons of water per load, whereas newer, high-efficiency models use less than 28 gallons of water per load.

River Bingo 

Our River Bingo was such a success last year that we have been encouraged to run it again.

Starting at 4.30 pm at the metal bridge, pre-paid numbered balls will be dropped into the river. The first ball to cross the finish line under Grove Bridge will win a super prize. There are lots of prizes too for runners-up. Bingo ball costs €5 each and are available from Cooney’s shop and Tidy Towns committee members.

A great day out for the community.
