You save on water, energy and time as a result.
Before using the washing machine, treat laundry
•
with a stain remover or soak dry stained items in
water so as to avoid having to use high
temperature wash programmes.
Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° C
•
wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C
wash programme.
Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
•
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a drying programme (for machines
with adjustable spin speed).
