Tips |
|
|
• |
Only run your dishwasher when it is full to make the best use of water, energy and detergent. |
|
| |
• |
Cut down on the amount of rinsing you do before loading the dishwasher. Most modern dishwashers do an excellent job of cleaning dishes, pots and pans all by themselves. |
|
|
• |
When purchasing a new appliance, look for one offering several different cycles. This will allow you to select more energy and water efficient cycles when heavy duty cleaning is not required. |
|
|
• |
Wait until you have a full load of laundry before running the machine to save both water and energy. If you can't wait for a full load, use the right water level to match the size of the load. |
|
|
• |
When in the market for a new machine, consider a high efficiency model that will use an average of 30% less water and 40-50% less energy. |
|
|
• |
Insulate your hot water pipes and your electric water heater. Insulation will reduce the amount of time it takes for hot water to reach the tap, saving water and energy. |
