Make sure you’re washing a full load of laundry.

Don’t just throw some socks and two shirts in the washing machine - put a full load of laundry in so that you’ll be sure to not waste water.
While you want the washing machine to be full, don't overload it. If you put too many clothes in there you'll strain the machine and your clothes won't get as clean.[12]
When washing your clothes, use the economy mode - this will save you both water and electricity!
