How to save on your laundry and reduce bills
If you're shopping for a new machine, consumer group Which? says choosing a more efficient washing machine could save up to £55 a year.
It might cost more upfront but you will spend less over the lifetime of the product.
An extra washing machine spin before you tumble dry your load could shorten the time you have the dryer on.
Tumble dryers use far more energy, so reducing this cost can add up, and of course in better weather avoid it altogether if you can hang it out to air dry.
Reducing the number of loads you do can cut your usage and bill, and making sure your doing a full load each time is one way to do this.
The Good Housekeeping Institute reckons you should wash jeans, jumpers and towels after every three uses. But if they look and smell OK, hold off for the sake of the planet — and your wallet.
Other ways to save on energy bills
There are plenty of other ways to slash your energy bills too.
When it comes to washing your clothes, you may want to consider doing it with cold water.
Roughly 90% of the total energy consumed is typically used to heat water when doing laundry.
By switching to cold water, you will put less pressure on electricity grids, protect your clothes from shrinkage and save money.
You should also consider using a high-speed or extended spin cycle.
