Here are a few tips and tricks to help you save money and be more environment-friendly.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Take better care of the clothes you own<\/h2>\n<p>Buying new clothes and filling landfills with used ones are big problems in the world. While endless new trends make it feel like we constantly need new items, the fact is that quality clothes never go out of style. To wear them for as long as you can, you will need to take care of them properly. The first place to start is to check the tag so you can wash and dry them accordingly. Secondly divide the clothes by washing requirements and colors. Next step is picking the right program on your washing machine and dryer. <a href=\"https:\/\/international.gorenje.com\/greentouch\/laundry\">Gorenje GreenTouch washing machines<\/a> have special programs for different household needs, type of clothes and materials. For example, <strong>FabricCare<\/strong> is especially incredible at taking care of your clothes as it can reduce the wear and tear for up to 70 % in comparison to the regular program for cotton and can make your clothes last up to two times longer.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Use less electricity<\/h2>\n<p>The first way to do so is to avoid unnecessary washing. Underpants, socks, tights and shirts should be washed after every wear, other items can be worn a few times before washing. Wait until you have to wash multiple items before doing laundry, so you make the most out of every wash. However, avoid overfilling the machine as this can result in washing that is not as efficient as it should be. Gorenje GreenTouch washing machines are more energy-efficient and use <strong>up 68 % less energy<\/strong> thanks to <strong>WashControl<\/strong>. This practical feature also results in high efficiency in up to 21 % less time. Check out GreenTouch dryers as well. Reaching high <strong>energy class of A++ and A+++<\/strong> they will help you <strong>reduce the use of energy for up to 50 %<\/strong> by using <strong>SensorDrying<\/strong> feature, that perfectly meets the needs of your laundry.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Use less water<\/h2>\n<p>While water is necessary for doing laundry, how much of it you use can make a difference. Incredible WashControl feature also takes care of that, as it <strong>reduces the amount of water for up to 45 %<\/strong>. Gorenje dryers on the other hand can use <strong>ColdSteam<\/strong> function which utilizes recycled condensed water they get from drying as steam to take better care of your clothes.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Use less detergent<\/h2>\n<p>There is a wide range of washing detergents and they vary in price and ingredients. Look for Eco options to make less of an impact on the environment and make sure you use the right amount. With GreenTouch washing machines you can forget about that as they will help you use the optimal dose for every load with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lifesimplified.gorenje.com\/intl\/simplify-your-laundry-with-our-autodosing-systemas\/\">AutoDosing System<\/a>, that can help you use up to 45 % less detergent in comparison to using pods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Recycle<\/h2>\n<p>Give a new life to the clothes you no longer need. Give them away, use cotton t-shirts for workout, or make a new item out of them. Recycle the packaging as well. Look for zero-waste detergents and choose appliances like GreenTouch, which are up to <strong>78 % recyclable<\/strong> and <strong>made from 16 % recycled materials<\/strong>. They even come with <strong>reduced printed manuals that are 60 % smaller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we hear a lot about ecological problems with bad quality singular season clothing, that gets thrown away, we don&#8217;t think enough about how the way we do laundry, makes a difference as well.
