With Homie, you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homiepayperuse.com\/en\/product-category\/washing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rent a washing machine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that comes with an eco mode, allowing you to save energy effortlessly. Read on to discover the benefits of eco mode, how the program works and how you can save even more energy while washing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is eco mode?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The eco mode is a special program designed to save energy and water. It typically runs at a lower temperature, such as 30\u00b0C or 40\u00b0C, instead of the usual 60\u00b0C or higher. This means the washing machine uses less energy to heat the water. The machine still cleans your laundry effectively, but it takes longer to achieve the same result. Although the program takes more time, in the long run, it saves a significant amount of energy, benefiting both your wallet and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Benefits of an eco program<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Energy savings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The main advantage of eco mode is that it uses less power.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Water savings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Many eco programs also use less water, which is great for both your wallet and the planet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cost savings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: With lower temperatures and a longer cycle, your washing machine uses less power compared to a regular wash program. This results in a lower energy bill.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sustainability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Using eco mode contributes to a more sustainable household by reducing power and water consumption.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Other ways to save energy while washing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t have eco mode on your washing machine or want to save even more? Here are some additional tips for energy-efficient washing:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip 1: Wash at lower temperatures<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the lowest temperature suitable for your laundry. For many clothes, 30\u00b0C or 40\u00b0C is enough to clean them. Washing at lower temperatures also helps your clothes last longer. Towels should be washed at 60\u00b0C for hygiene purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip 2: Fill the washing machine properly<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washing a full load is much more energy-efficient than several smaller loads. Make sure the washing machine is full, but not overloaded, so the air can circulate properly and clean your clothes thoroughly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip 3: Use the right detergent<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a detergent suitable for washing at lower temperatures. If your washing machine has an automatic dosing system, like iDOS, be sure to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip 4: Wash when the sun is shining<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have solar panels? Run your washing machine when the sun is shining, so you can use the energy you generate yourself rather than relying on the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip 5: Rent an energy-efficient washing machine from Homie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your current washing machine isn\u2019t energy-efficient enough, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homiepayperuse.com\/en\/product-category\/washing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rent a washing machine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from Homie.
