Beth also recently discussed a clever tip to save money while doing laundry. She said: “Always was at 20C and use a stain remover before you wash at a lower temperature. This can reduce energy usage by up to 62 percent.”
According to a study by Proctor & Gamble testing Ariel Gel, the only stain that a 20C wash could not get rid of was olive oil. So it’s likely that clothes that are not very dirty will be cleaned thoroughly on this wash.
Which? found that, on average, turning the wash down from 40C to 20C reduces costs by 62 percent.
Even turning the wash from 40C down to 30C saves you 57 percent. Over a year this could save £12.
