Don’t throw your money in the water.
1. Tip – No pre-wash cycle
If you save on the pre-wash cycle, you also save on costs! For very dirty laundry, it is a good idea to pre-treat or soak it before washing.
2. Tip – Wash at 60 °C
Washing machines use about two thirds of the energy to heat the water. If you wash the boiled laundry at 60 °C instead of 90 °C, you can save the most electricity.
3. Tip – Load correctly
The power consumption per wash cycle always remains the same. So if you want to save electricity, make sure you load the washing machine correctly. For information on the exact amount, refer to the manual of your washing machine.
4. Tip – Water heating
You should check your instantaneous water heater if your water heating is electric. You can reduce electricity costs by using economy fittings or retrofittable flow limiters. These help to save water when showering.
