But did you know you can apply this principle to many other everyday activities and save on average £100 on your energy bill and £50 on your water bill per year?
The effective cleaning power of P&G products, means you can turn down the temperature, save money and up to 30% on energy usage:
- By turning from 40° to 30° with Ariel
- When using "Short Cycles" with Fairy Dishwasher tablets (50°/55° /Eco dishwasher cycles instead of intensive cycles)
- When using cold 20° water instead of 40° hot water with Flash
Channel 4's money-saving guru Miss Moneypenny has got behind this campaign and has come up with a short video explaining more.
In addition, P&G has partnered with Waitrose and are offering householders the chance to win £3,000 towards their annual energy and food shopping bills, in return for sharing their tips on how to save energy and water around the home. Why not pop over and enter at www.pgeverydaysavings.com.

ReplyDeleteUsing the kettle: only boil as much water as you need. This is one area that I fall down on, as I guess I still have an underlying lingering thought of 'I'll burn the element' - from the days when kettles had a big chunky element that had to be covered in water!

Washing at 30 degrees. Wow, I need to follow some of these tips.
ReplyDeleteSwitching off devices when they are not in use :-)
ReplyDeleteWash at 30 degrees, I always do this and it works fine (anything really dirty just needs soaking overnight in warm water with a little soap powder first).
ReplyDeleteMy money saving tip is to stand bottles upside down when they're nearly empty to drain out the last bit, and snip open tubes when they seem empty as it's surprising how much is left in that won't squeeze out. x
