Scorching summer days not only increase electricity consumption but also make laundry more frequent. To ease the burden of electricity bills, Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) has shared tips for saving electricity and water while using washing machines.
1. Load the washing machine with an appropriate amount of clothes
Firstly, pay attention to the number of clothes when washing. Do not wash too little or too many clothes at once, it not only helps the clothes to be cleaner but also avoids damaging the washing machine. When the washing machine is overloaded, it can make a loud noise and stop working.
2. Turn off the hot water washing mode
Next, if your washing machine has a hot water washing function, use cold water to save energy. Washing machines using hot water require large amounts of electricity to heat the water to a high temperature, while washing with cold water does not require this heating process, thereby reducing electricity consumption. Moreover, washing with cold water is also suitable for most clothes and can help prolong their lifespan by reducing the risk of shrinkage and fading.
3. Choose the right water level
In general, current washing machines 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 clothes is also an effective way to save water. If the amount of clothes is small, only use a low water level, which will make washing faster and save energy.
4. Use specialized washing powder
In addition, choosing the right washing powder also helps protect the washing machine and makes clothes cleaner without wasting water and electricity. Washing powder specially designed for washing machines usually creates less foam and leaves no residue on clothes.
When using fabric softener, you should also use it sparingly and reasonably. Fabric softener should be added to the final rinse cycle and the machine can be paused for about 10 minutes to allow the clothes to soak evenly in the fabric softener.
5. Choose the appropriate spin mode
Choosing the spin mode that suits the type of clothes is also important to save time and energy. For thick clothes, blankets, and bed sheets, the extra dry spin mode should be used as a priority.
6. Periodic cleaning
Finally, cleaning the washing machine properly and choosing the right location for the washing machine are also very important. The washing machine should be placed in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, and water should not be allowed to come into direct contact with the control panel to avoid damage.
