Secret button reduces laundry costs. Up to 62 percent.
Is the new bill connected with another increase? Unfortunately, in recent years this has been the norm. People are wondering how to save electricity and, consequently, reduce expenses in the household budget. Few people know that the option of solid savings is in the washing machine.
For several years now, we have been observing a significant increase in energy costs. The war in Ukraine, the crisis in the supply of raw materials, the reconstruction of many sectors of the economy after the coronavirus pandemic, global inflation and climate change are the main reasons. Many of us save electricity as much as we can so that at the end of the month the amount of the electricity bill does not exceed our financial possibilities. However, few people know that you can save on laundry, and we are not talking about wearing the same clothes for several days.
Secret button on washing machine. What is it?
About the eco mode switch. Using this button lowers the water temperature. Due to lower energy consumption, the washing cycle becomes friendlier to our wallet and the environment. CO2 emissions related to heating water are simply lower.
Longer, but more economical
On average, eco mode can reduce energy consumption by 40-50 percent, and in extreme cases even by 62 percent. Although such washing may take longer, the washing machine uses less energy to heat the water, and longer soaking and drum movement help to effectively wash clothes without intensive use of energy. Additionally, modern washing machines in eco mode can adjust the amount of water and energy to the weight of the load, which allows for minimizing energy consumption depending on the amount of laundry.
How often should you clean your washing machine?
It is worth remembering that washing machine cleaning should be done regularly to avoid mold, deposits and unpleasant odors. Elements such as the seal and filter require more frequent attention, while a thorough cleaning of the drum and descaling can be done every few months. Regular cleaning not only ensures hygienic washing, but also prolongs the life of the device.
