Save energy while doing your laundry with Bosch

When it’s time to do your laundry, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time for sky high bills too.

In fact, with the right appliances, you can actually save money, energy, reduce waste, and even extend the lifespan of your clothes. Bosch’s selection of washing machines and tumble dryers are designed to improve energy efficiency and make your laundry routine as eco-friendly as possible.

Our washing machines are all A-rated which is the highest energy efficiency rating available. This means, they don’t just clean your clothes, they lower your energy consumption too. With the help of Youreko, the online calculator tool, you can even compare machines with your average usage to see how much you could save.

i-DOS dosing assistant
With traditional washing machines, it’s a guessing game knowing how much detergent to use. Too much, or too little can both impact results. But i-DOS automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent and water, which helps you reduce waste and energy use.

Mini load feature
Running the machine for just a small load can feel wasteful. But the mini load feature adjusts water and energy usage for those times when you just have a few items to wash.

Eco mode
Both Bosch washing machines and tumble dryers come with eco mode, and programmes such as Eco 40-60 for washing materials like cottons effectively but at a cooler temperature for longer, which means you can choose the most energy-efficient setting for each load.

Auto Dry
Auto Dry can detect when your laundry is perfectly dry, so you save energy while protecting your fabrics. This stops you from over-drying clothes which can damage them as well as waste energy.

Self-Cleaning Condensers
Our tumble dryers clean their condensers up to four times during each cycle, which makes for top energy efficiency with minimal effort.

Heat Pumps
If you’re in the market for a new tumble dryer, you might want to consider a heat pump model. These are the most energy-efficient tumble dryers available since they use advanced technology to conserve and reuse hot air throughout the drying process. Compared to traditional condenser dryers, they require significantly less energy to keep the air hot, which makes them an excellent choice for ecoconscious households.

Small changes to your washing and drying routine can have a big

impact on energy use.

Keep these tips in mind:

Load the machine correctly: It’s possible to overload or underload your washing machine. A full load would leave room for a hand’s width at the top of the drum. This will ensure optimal performance and results. Don’t forget to make use of the Mini load feature, or use Reload if you’ve forgotten an item so you only need to pause, add and continue the programme.

Organise by fabric: Dry heavier cottons and lighter items separately and material-specific settings where possible to avoid over-drying. You might want to place delicates into a drying bag to protect them from snags and potential damage too. Bosch appliances come with settings for individual fabrics too, so you know you’re choosing the correct setting.

Use the spin cycle: Before you load the tumble dryer, run an extra spin cycle to remove as much water as possible. This will reduce drying time and energy usage.

With features like i-DOS, Eco mode, and heat pump technology, Bosch will help you get the most out of every cycle while reducing your energy consumption.
