Most of the energy your washing machine uses is taken up by heating water.
Most modern detergents work just as well in cooler water and some are even designed to work at a lower temperature. Why not try washing your clothes at 30°C to save energy and help to reduce CO2 emissions.
Alternatively, for an even greener clean, use laundry balls in your wash. Not only can these be used on a lower temperature, but they also negate the need for harmful detergents.
