  • This can add up to hundreds of dollars per year, depending on how often you do laundry

  • ✅ Does It Actually Clean Your Clothes?

    Yes — most detergents today are designed to work efficiently in cold water. Unless your laundry is heavily soiled (think: oil stains or illness-related loads), Eco mode does a perfectly good job of cleaning everyday clothes.

    If you’re skeptical, try it on a regular load of lightly worn clothes — you’ll barely notice the difference in results, but you will in your energy use.


    🔎 Where to Find It on Your Machine

    Depending on your washing machine model, look for:

    • A dedicated “Eco” button
    • A cycle labeled “Eco Wash,” “Cold Wash,” or “Energy Saver”
    • A programmable option in your digital cycle menu

    If you’re unsure, check your user manual or do a quick search for your machine’s model online. You might be surprised how much flexibility your washer already offers.


    🧼 Extra Tips to Boost Your Savings:

    • Wash full loads: Fewer loads = less energy overall.
    • Use high-efficiency (HE) detergent: Designed to work better in low-water settings.
    • Skip the dryer when possible: Air-drying saves even more energy.
    • Clean your washing machine filter regularly: A cleaner machine uses less energy.

    🚿 Final Thoughts: One Small Button, Big Impact

    If you’re looking for a painless way to lower your energy bill, start with your laundry. That “Eco” button is one of the easiest, most effective changes you can make — no rewiring, no upgrading, no hassle.

    It’s hidden in plain sight, and once you start using it, you might wonder why you didn’t press it sooner.


    Cleaner clothes. Lower bills. Smaller carbon footprint.
    All from one simple setting.
