With the ever-growing cost of living, we’ve put together our best tips on how you can save on your bills by saving on your laundry!
1 – Wash on 30°C even if there are stains!
Washing on a cooler temperature can help you save on your energy bills as it doesn’t take as much to heat the water! This small change can have a big impact on your annual spend, and every bit helps!
Don’t think you could wash as effectively on a lower temperature? It’s a myth! You can safely and effectively wash on 30 without the fear of having to rewash! Opt for bio laundry washing capsules and liquids, as they provide you with a deep clean even on lower temperatures.
If you are really worried about those mud stains that won’t come out of the football kit or the jam stain that just won’t budge from your favourite top, try a pre-treatment! All it takes is someVanish Gold Pre Treat Gel to tackle tough stains before you pop them into your cool wash.
Bold have also released a laundry detergent gel which provides you with a brilliant clean, even on a cold wash. Washing colder can save you up to 60% energy* in every wash, wowza!
*washing machine energy consumption, from 60°C to 30°C, normal cycle.

2 – Cut down on washing
Limiting the amount of loads you put on is a no-brainer for saving money on your laundry! Try to do your washing in one big load as opposed to lots of smaller loads. You’ll save on water, energy and your time, win-win-win!
Here at Savers, we love a hack and the colour catcher is one of them! You can mix lights, darks and colours without the fear of dying those white socks pink!
We also suggest practising mindful washing. With every item of clothing (well maybe not the pants and socks) but with the bigger items, think do you really need to wash this, or could it last another wear? You’ll be surprised by how many bits you hang back up in the cupboard when you use a scent booster in your wash, your clothes will still be super fresh!

3 – Opt for air drying where possible!
It’s always quite a task to air dry your clothing (especially with the British weather), however it can save you so much on your energy bills! Tumble dryers use up a lot of energy, so try to only use them if absolutely necessary!
TOP TIP: If you don’t have the facilities for a washing line, invest in a clothes horse. UseLenor Outdoorablesto give you that fresh ‘off the line’ smell, even if your washing has just come off the rack in the living room!
4 – Keep your washing machine in good form!
Maintaining your washing machine is ESSENTIAL! It will operate more efficiently (saving on energy!), prevent breakdowns and will avoid the worst – having to buy a whole new machine!
The Dr Beckmann Washing Machine Cleaner works wonders by effectively removing limescale and preventing breakdowns. Alternatively you could use the ever reliable Calgon which you simply add to your washing load.

5 – Plan your wash!
Believe it or not there is actually a change in price of a load of laundry depending on when you pop it on!
In the Summer the best time to run your washer and dryer is early in the morning when the electricity demand is lower.
Contrary to this, in the Winter, it is best to put a load on in the early evening. The colder mornings mean there is more of a demand on the electricity, so it is beneficial to start a load once everyone has warmed up and turned their heating off!
So there you have it, how to save money on your washing!
