Water-saving features in washing machines
Battling water supply issues can be a challenge faced by many households. Therefore, it’s essential to give your washer an upgrade and look for appliances that optimise water consumption and detergent usage.
Today, you can find washing machines with smart sensors that detect the size of the laundry and adjust the water levels accordingly. Front-loaders with their tumble wash consume less water than the agitation method of top-loaders.
Steam cleaning is yet another powerful feature in washing machines that targets stubborn dirt, grime, and odour and gives fresh, hygienic clothes with minimal water consumption. You can also find washing machines with Eco Bubble technology, where the soap and water are pre-mixed to create a soapy cleaning agent.
This leads to enhanced cleaning and reduced water consumption. Furthermore, features like Quick Wash or Dual Wash can run laundry cycles quickly and simultaneously, saving energy.

Maximising cleanliness while minimising detergent use
While a washing machine with water-saving features can be a saviour, there are other tips and tricks you should explore to minimise detergent usage without compromising on cleanliness. Check for high-quality detergent liquids or powders that are designed to give fewer suds but ensure thorough rinsing. Always use the recommended dosage of detergent to avoid residue on clothes or additional cleaning cycles. It’s also wise to pre-treat stains by soaking them or applying cleansers to avoid multiple laundry cycles or excess usage of detergents. Thus, by following these simple practices, you can ensure a sustainable cleaning cycle at home.
