Tips for World Energy Saving Day
On World Energy Saving Day, we want to share with you some practical tips to make the process of washing, drying and ironing more sustainable and kinder to the environment (and your wallet).
These are small gestures that can make a big difference and contribute to the well-being of our planet.
Sustainable Washing
Water temperature: A simple but significant choice is to opt for washing at low temperatures. Use washing cycles at lower temperatures, thus reducing energy consumption without compromising the cleanliness of your clothes.
Full load: Wait until you have a full load before starting the washing machine. In this way, you will optimise water and energy use, contributing to overall savings.
Professional detergents:: These products are formulated to be effective even at low temperatures, thus reducing the overall energy consumption during washing. Professional detergents are highly concentrated, requiring less product for optimal results.
Sustainable Drying
Outdoor drying: Choose open air drying whenever possible. Open-air drying not only reduces the environmental impact, but, being gentler on your fabrics, it also gives your garments a fresh, natural scent. A choice that combines well-being and energy saving.
Low temperature cycle: If you need to use your tumble dryer, opt for the low temperature cycle. It will consume less energy and extend the life of your fabrics.
Stretch carefully: Stretching clothes carefully when drying can avoid the need to iron them later. Careful positioning of clothes can ensure a natural crease, saving time and energy. A practical way to save time and reduce energy consumption.
Smart Ironing
Iron only when necessary: Limit ironing to only those garments that require it. Often, hanging clothes properly while drying reduces the need for ironing, saving time and energy.
Optimal moisture: Iron fabrics when they are still slightly damp. This makes the process easier and requires less effort, guaranteeing a flawless result.
Appliance maintenance
Regular maintenance: Make sure your washing machine, dryer and iron are always in top condition. Regular maintenance will improve energy efficiency, prolonging the life of your appliances.
With small adjustments to our clothes care routine, we can help preserve our environment. Every gesture counts, and together we can work towards a more sustainable laundry that respects our planet.
