✅ 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.
🔎 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.
