WHAT MAKES AN ENERGY STAR® WASHING MACHINE BETTER?
ENERGY STAR washing machines use less energy to heat water for warm and hot washes.
They use water very efficiently and effectively, which means less waste water.
Are very efficient, while ensuring your clothes come out nice and clean.
ENERGY STAR washing machines are available as both top and front loaders.
HOT TIPS FOR WASHING MACHINES
Save energy by using cold water to wash your clothes and other lightly soiled loads.
Do a warm wash every five loads or a hot wash every ten loads to remove any dirt and detergent that may build up in the washing machine.
Try to wash a full load rather than several smaller loads when possible.
Dissolving powder detergents before you add them to the washer will improve performance in cold water.
Choose an auto-sensing machine, or adjust the water level to suit the load size.
ENERGY STAR® washing machines
An ENERGY STAR washing machine is so efficient you could save up to $100 a year* on running costs. That's equal to 20 packs of free washing powder - every year!
So next time you're shopping for a washing machine ask for one with the blue ENERGY STAR mark.
