Washing in cold water: Save energy and money effortlessly

Proper detergent selection, regular appliance maintenance, and proper washing machine loading are key steps that can improve washing quality. These steps can also reduce expenses in everyday household life.

According to information on the cafefinlandia.fi portal, plumbing experts recommend testing lower washing temperatures. Although many insist on 40 degrees Celsius, it is sometimes worth setting the washing machine to a lower value.

Experts point out that washing at lower temperatures, such as 30 or even 20 degrees, significantly reduces electricity consumption. This approach leads to specific savings in the wallet.

Thanks to advanced technologies in washing machines and detergents, many modern devices are designed to work efficiently at lower temperatures, promoting gentler treatment of fabrics.

Lower washing settings also help preserve the colours and structure of clothes. It's worth knowing that materials such as linen, silk, or wool should not be washed at high temperatures to avoid damage.

Washing at a lower temperature reduces electricity bills and decreases our carbon footprint, thus supporting ecological solutions in everyday activities.

Other simple changes to household habits can help achieve more savings. For example, unplugging devices left on standby mode can significantly lower electricity bills.

Additionally, replacing traditional bulbs with energy-saving models, despite higher initial costs, quickly leads to noticeable savings.

The refrigerator is one of the largest energy consumers in the home. It can be improved by being organized and only opening the door when necessary.
