Washing clothes efficiently doesn’t just keep them fresh—it also saves money, energy, and water. Follow these smart strategies to clean your laundry while keeping costs low.
1. Use Cold Water Whenever Possible
✔ Washing in cold water (30°C or lower) helps save energy and prevent fabric damage.
✔ Most detergents are designed to work efficiently in cold water.
✔ Use hot water only for heavily soiled clothes, bedding, and towels.
2. Choose the Right Detergent & Use Less
✔ Concentrated detergents require less product while still being effective.
✔ Avoid overusing detergent—too much can leave residues and require extra rinsing.
✔ Consider eco-friendly or homemade detergents to save money and reduce chemicals.
3. Optimize Load Size & Sorting
✔ Full loads save water and electricity, but don’t overload the machine.
✔ Separate clothes by color, fabric type, and level of dirtiness for better washing results.
✔ Wash lightly worn clothes with shorter cycles to save time and energy.
