An easy way of reducing energy consumption while washing (that also reduces the cost of washing) is to leave your washing out to dry. Tumble drying and drying cabinets use a lot of energy.

Washing at 40°C uses around half as much energy as washing at 60°C. (We do recommend that you wash heavily soiled clothes and underwear at the highest permitted temperature).

Most of us wash our clothes too often. Don’t wash clothes that are not dirty. Try airing and brushing more instead - it’s good for Mother Earth and your clothes. Be lazier!

When you no longer have a use for clothes, give them to an organisation that can extend the garment’s life and let someone else enjoy it, sell it on Vinted to make some extra cash or give it to a friend. Is it broken? Use it as wipes!
