HOW TO SAVE WATER AND ENERGY ON LAUNDRY DAY

Small things can make a big difference! Most of the energy consumption and CO2 footprint of the laundry cycle occurs during the wash cycle due to the energy needed to heat the water in the machine.

Small adjustments in your wash settings and the way you load your machine can make a contribution to help reduce your carbon footprint.

Wash at low temperatures to reduce your environmental impact

Over the years we have constantly improved our Persil formula to ensure top washing performance at all temperatures. You can use any Persil® laundry detergent, such as Original Scent or Intense Fresh®, since they all provide a premium clean in cold water. Discover more tips for how to wash clothes in cold water.

Fully load your washing machine to reduce your energy bill

Loading the washing machine as fully as possible helps not only to save water but helps to reduce your energy bill by reducing the # of loads washed.

Plan out your families laundry schedule by sorting and collecting similarly soiled garments, you can avoid washing with a half-full drum. Learn more about how to sort clothes for better results on laundry day.
