What is the most environmentally friendly way to wash my clothes?
- always put on a full load when cleaning clothes, but be careful not to overload the washing machine
- use the eco setting on your washing machine
- use non-bio washing powder or liquid
- if an item only has a tiny stain, try handwashing it first to see if the dirt can be removed
- modern washing machines are designed to be able to wash clothes at much lower temperatures, so when you buy a new washing machine make sure to try out the lowest temperature settings first
- try to find a setting that balances energy and water efficiency.
