Wash colder, save
When it comes to doing your laundry, the most efficient way to save energy is to turn down the washing temperature on your machine to 30°C or below. This small, but consistent change can make a big difference when it comes to making sustainably conscious choices. Did you know that up to 60%* of your laundry’s carbon footprint comes from heating the water? So, pledging to wash colder and make a habit of turning the temperature dial down on your washing machine is the single biggest way to reduce the environmental impact of each wash load.
Washing colder is also a great way to reduce your energy bills. Switching from washing at 40°C to 20°C can help you use 60% less energy per cycle – which all adds up when your energy bill lands on the doormat or in your inbox.
