Taking into account energy and water costs, it is estimated that the average cost of a wash cycle is around 0.30 to 0.50 euros. Please note that these values ​​are only a rough estimate and can vary significantly depending on the factors mentioned above, as well as location-specific energy and water rates.

To reduce your energy bill, it is advisable to use low temperature wash programs, fill your washing machine to capacity and consider purchasing models with higher energy performance. But now let’s see in detail what mistakes you should not make when washing in the machine, to save on the bill.

Starting The Washing Machine With Too Much Detergent
The first mistake to avoid when machine washing is using too much detergent. In fact, too much detergent produces an excessive amount of suds which traps bacteria and dirt, compromising the complete rinsing of certain areas such as collars.

In addition, the foam could remain in the drum even at the end of the wash, forcing us to repeat the cycle to eliminate it completely. This leads to greater energy consumption and increased costs.

Use Any Detergent and Do Not Divide Clothes
