When washing summer clothes, remember these 6 tips to save half of your electricity and water bills. Many people wish they knew sooner

 There are some tips for washing clothes to ensure cleanliness while still saving electricity and water, many people do not know.

During hot summer days, not only does the demand for electricity increase, but it also makes laundry more popular. To reduce the pressure of electricity bills, Vietnam Electricity Corporation (EVN) has shared some tips to help save electricity and water when using washing machines.

Choose the right amount of clothing

First, pay attention to the amount of clothes when you wash. Do not wash too little or too much clothes at a time. This will not only help keep the clothes cleaner but also avoid damaging the washing machine. When a washing machine is overloaded, it can make loud noises and stop working.

Turn off hot water washing mode

Next, if your washing machine has a hot water wash function, use cold water to save energy. Using hot water requires a large amount of electricity to heat the water to high temperatures, while washing with cold water does not require this process, thereby reducing electricity consumption.

Furthermore, washing in cold water is also suitable for most types of clothing and can help prolong their life by reducing the risk of shrinkage and fading.

Choose the appropriate water level

Most washing machines today have 3 water levels corresponding to each washing cycle. Depending on the amount of clothes, choose the appropriate water level.

Choosing the right water level for the amount of clothing also helps save water effectively. If the amount of clothes is small, just use a low water level, this will help wash faster and save energy.

Use specialized washing powder

Choosing the right detergent also plays an important role in protecting the washing machine and ensuring clean clothes without wasting a lot of water and electricity.

Detergents specifically for washing machines usually create little foam and leave no residue on clothes. At the same time, when using fabric softener, you should also save and use it appropriately, add fabric softener to the last cycle and pause the machine for about 10 minutes to let the clothes absorb the softener evenly.

Choose the appropriate spin mode

Choosing the right spin mode for the type of clothes is also an important factor to save time and energy. For thick clothes, blankets, and pillowcases, priority should be given to using the extremely dry spin mode.

Periodic maintenance

Finally, properly maintaining the washing machine and choosing a location to place the machine is also very important. The washing machine needs to be placed in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and do not let water come into direct contact with the control panel to avoid damage.
