4 ways to SAVE ENERGY

1 FILL IT UP

Wash full loads instead of half loads – two half loads will always use more energy than a single full load. For half loads, choose the correct setting if there is one.

2 CHOOSE COOL

Where you can, wash at a lower temperature or use a cold wash. It uses less energy and is perfect for clothes that are not very dirty.

3 CARE FOR YOUR WASHER

Every month, clean the filter and run a ‘service wash’ ie hot, without clothes, to whisk away build-up and bacteria.

4 SOAK AWAY STAINS

Give stains a pre-soak for about half an hour before loading into the machine – then you won’t need a longer or hotter wash to shift them.
