Washing machine energy-saving tips
Choose the optimum setting
Familiarise yourself with your washing machine’s settings and save energy by using the recommended cycles for different types of laundry. Many models have a dedicated energy-saving eco-mode too.

Know how full to fill
Fill about three-quarters full for the best results. Overfilling might not wash your clothes properly and can cause excess wear and tear. Underfilling means your washer is run more often than necessary.

Keep the filter clean
Your washing machine will have to work harder to drain if the filter is blocked. Clean and empty the filter monthly and be sure to remove loose items like coins from your pockets before washing too.

Fridge freezer energy-saving tips

Defrost your freezer regularly
Frost build-up in your freezer isn't just a mild annoyance, it's also an energy drain. Avoid this by emptying and defrosting your appliance once every six months or whenever you notice frost build-up.

Their mission, like ours, is to keep appliances working so we love the work they do. By campaigning for legislation changes and making repairs knowledge more easily available through their Restart Parties, The Restart Project are doing great work to empower appliance owners.
“Many people are surprised to learn that repairs are actually quite easy, requiring only a little knowledge about the appliance and of course a little patience!”
