🧺💡 Laundry Hack Alert! Who knew your washing machine settings could save you money and still give you spotless clothes? Dr Xand van Tulleken shares his top tips on how to maximise your wash and cut down on energy bills. Here’s the scoop:
🔥 90°C: It might kill all germs but it’s a clothes killer too and super pricey.
🦠 60°C: Great for wiping out household bugs like Norovirus. Handy during infection seasons!
❌ 40°C: Dr Xand’s verdict? Too pricey to run, too cool to sanitise. Skip it.
💰 30°C: The sweet spot! It gets the job done and saves a whopping 40% on energy costs. Remember to swap to a low-temp detergent!
🆒 20°C: Dr Xand’s fave for everyday wear. It’s super economical—saving you 62% over 40°C. Heats up only for sweaty gym gear!
🛠️ Keep your machine running optimally with these cleaning tips: Pop the detergent tray in the dishwasher to tackle mould. Give the drum a quick wipe with vinegar, and don’t forget to run a high-temp cleaning cycle according to the manufacturer’s guide.
And always, always check your manual to keep your warranty intact while ensuring your laundry’s looking fresh and your bills, a bit less scary. Ready to hit those settings? 🧼🔧💧 #LaundryTips #SaveMoney #WashingMachineHacks #CleanAndCheap
