Save energy in the kitchen or bathroom? No problem. But did you know that you can also save energy when washing and drying laundry? As a real estate agent in Tyrol, I have seen numerous tenants and owners drastically reduce their everyday energy consumption when washing with just a few tricks.
Energy-saving laundry washing
Step 1: Use the entire capacity of your washing machine by putting your washing machine away until there is about a hand's width of space left.
Step 2: Wash at the lowest temperature. Yes, even your boil laundry. It is perfectly sufficient if you wash them only once a month at 60°C and a full detergent powder with bleach . Otherwise, choose a temperature of 30°C.
Step 3: Use a compact detergent in powder form. These are the most economical and you usually need less powder than indicated.
Dry laundry as energy-efficiently as possible
In general, you should avoid using a dryer, as it has a high energy consumption.
If you are dependent on a dryer, please only put in well spun laundry. If the laundry has already been spun in the washing machine, you will need correspondingly less energy for drying. 1400 spin cycles per minute are sufficient.
If you reduce your energy consumption with the help of these tips, it will also make your property more interesting for a possible sale. After all, low energy consumption enhances the value of your property. And even if you don't want to sell your house: With the help of these tricks, you can reduce your energy costs and save money.
With kind regards
