This January, we’re giving you some top energy saving tips and looking at the Ecozone products that could help you save.
Number 1 – Ecozone Dryercubes
One of our energy saving tips cover the Tumble Dryer.
It’s no known secret that running a Tumbler Dryer is one of the most expensive appliances you can use at home. However, many rely on it to efficiently get through the laundry loads. One of the key tips running a cost-effective dryer is to use only when necessary. You can also cut down on drying time; to achieve this, good airflow is needed otherwise you run cycles for much longer to get things dried. Like with drying large items like bedding, it’s easy for the fabrics to tangle up reducing the airflow to all parts of the material. Keeping the filters free from lint or not overloading is another good tip for running an efficient machine.
However, Ecozone’s Dryercubes are a good hack and cost-effective way to help you save. The Dryercubes help shorten drying time (saving energy) and increase airflow between tangled clothing while smoothing out wrinkles and creases. Use both Dryercubes in every tumble drying cycle. In addition, Dryercubes can be used over and over again. Available at Ecozone Direct for £6.99.
Number 2 – Ecozone Magnoball™ and Washing Machine & Dishwasher Cleaner
Ensuring you maintain and regularly descale your Washing Machine & Dishwasher is a must to achieve clean clothes and dishes. We may think our appliances are cleaned by doing laundry and running the dishwasher. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. While detergents may clean the dirt and grime from fabrics and cutlery, they can also play a large part in forming residues and soap scum. That’s a big issue when paired with limescale. While limescale naturally occurs on its own in water, some detergent surfactants and oils can build up in piping and work hand in hand with limescale to cause blocked pipes and poorly performing appliances. Ecozone and many appliance manufacturers recommend descaling at least once a month. Without doing so, over time, the build-up can be so severe that it causes elements to overheat and can eventually cause breakdowns.
Ecozone’s Washing Machine & Dishwasher Cleaner is an easy-to-use solution that requires you to throw a tablet in an empty machine on a 60°c+ wash once a month, descaling & deodorising in one! In addition, Ecozone’s Magnoball™ is the perfect limescale maintenance product that sits neatly in your washing machine or dishwasher, helping remove limescale during the wash process after around five uses. This solution is for use over and over again in every cycle. Available at Ecozone Direct for £9.99 (Magnoball) & £4.99 (Washing Machine & Dishwasher Cleaner).
Number 3 – Ecoballs™
Most of those who frequently use Ecozone products will have heard of the Ecoballs™, but for those who haven’t, Ecozone’s Ecoballs™ 250 washes are an effective eco-friendly laundry detergent alternative. The Ecoballs™ not only cost around £0.05p per wash but are formulated to provide an effective clean on short cycles and at 30°c. Furthermore, thanks to their residue-free formula, you don’t need to run a rinse cycle. This means you can run your washing machine for less time and at more energy-efficient temperatures. They also come in Fragrance-Free and Pure Linen Fragrances. Available at Ecozone Direct for £13.99.
Number 4 – Multi-Purpose Appliance Descaler
Although we’ve mentioned the need for descaling your Washing Machine and Dishwasher, plenty of other home appliances need a regular descale to work proficiently. From Kettles and Irons to Steam Cleaners, where there’s a possibility of limescale building up, it means you’re at risk of using more energy when using them. Ecozone’s Multi-Purpose Appliance Descaler is the perfect solution to banish limescale and more. Our 500ml bottle provides up to 5 uses. Available at Ecozone Direct for £4.99.
Number 5 – General Cleaners
Regular cleaning of all appliances, such as; the Microwave, Oven etc., ensures they heat or perform more effectively. Dirty and greasy appliances cause the heat to be distributed between heating up the build-up and residues as well as the food or whatever its intended use is. A clean oven makes for a more energy-efficient appliance. Ecozone has many great general cleaners, such as the Anti-bacterial Tough Degreasing Spray £3.60, Anti-bacterial Multi Surface Wipes £2.49 and Oven Cleaning Gel £4.99, all available at Ecozone Direct.
