Before you buy
When choosing your new washing machine, in addition to the standard features that you consider such as price, capacity and will it look good in my kitchen please also look carefully at energy efficiency and water efficiency.
Evidently Britain uses more water per head than any other European country and with weather patterns changing and the cost of recycling water getting more expensive in terms of both cost and the environment, we need to change our usage patterns.
Action plan: make sure that the washing machine is full and perhaps soak heavily soiled clothes prior to washing, look for washing machines that have wash programmes that allow for half loads or, if you are only a two person household, consider a smaller size washing machine. Also, try and avoid unnecessary pre-wash cycles.
