Water Saving Tips

WashingInside - Laundry

  • Only use your washing machine if you have a full load.
  • If you must do a half load of washing, adjust the water level to suit.
  • Consider purchasing a 4-star rated washing machine. These use about two thirds less water than a traditional top loader. Check www.waterrating.gov.au to see how your appliances rate.
  • Use the ‘sud-saver’ option (if you have it) when doing more than one load.
  • Use biodegradable eco-friendly detergent for improved greywater for your garden.
  • When washing clothes by hand, only run as much water as needed into the sink.
  • Pre-treat stains to reduce the need to re-wash clothes.
