Reducing energy consumption

Our daily laundry habits have a greater environmental impact than many people realize – especially due to washing temperature, frequency, and use of a tumble dryer.

  • High washing temperatures require a lot of energy, as most of it is needed to heat the water.
  • Frequent washing not only increases water and energy consumption but also reduces the lifespan of clothing as it damages the fibres and deforms the clothes.
  • Tumble dryers are among the biggest energy consumers in households. Air-drying is a much eco-friendlier alternative.
  • Washing frequency can be reduced by airing your clothes or using alternate methods of stain removal.

With the tool, you can instantly see how changes in your daily routine can make a big difference for the environment.

Reducing washing temperature and washing frequency as well as avoiding to use the tumble dryer will extend the lifespan of your clothes and hence reduce the need for buying new ones.
