Top 5 tips for a more sustainable laundry day

1.    Wash efficiently by detoxing your machine.

Imagine your washing machine is a finely tuned Porshe, it requires close maintenance and a lot of love for it to be running at its optimum potential. Over the course of using your washing machine, detergent deposits are liable to accumulate in the pipes and diminish the efficacy of the machine to wash your clothes. Not to worry! This is solvable if you conduct a thorough detox of your washing machine.

Our sustainable detox tablets are the perfect tool to kickstart your planet-friendly washing routine. Awarded with the Evening Standard Best Top Pick Award 2023, it effectively cleans the pipes and eradicates odours by removing any limescale and soap scum which has accumulated in your washing machine. By detoxing your machine, you will be saving yourself those extra washes from where your clothes have not been purposefully washed.

We recommend using the tablets once a month to keep your machine running smoothly and cleanly- giving it the TLC it deserves!

2.    A game of energy-saving limbo with your washing machine temperature.

The lower the temperature of your machine, the less energy used and the lower the cost of your laundry loads at the end of the month. Simples!

Good new sis our eco egg Laundry Eggs work effectively in COLD washes as low as 15°C – did someone say money-saving EGGspert? Put your washing machine on its lowest temperature to save you energy and money on your household bills and help you begin your greener laundry day. How low can YOU go? 😉

3.    Reduce your plastic consumption.

It is predicted by 2050 the oceans will contain more plastic (by weight) than fish. (Forum, 2016)We are committed to finding a solution to the plastic problem by minimisingplastic where we can – starting in the laundry basket.

By switching to an ecoegg, you could eliminate up to 40 plastic bottles per household, per year. So far, since January 2021, the sales of our Laundry Eggsfrom just our website have helped save over 2 million plastic bottles going to landfill. Since recent findings showcase the unreliability of the UK’s recycling system as Greenpeace oust the government for sending plastic waste to poorer countries for illegal incineration; it is ever more pressing to decrease plastic usage. Plastic reduction and simmering the demand for plastic production will help the Earth become cleaner and less polluted. The ecoegg Laundry Egg contributes to the goal of reducing plastic and encouraging a circular plastic economy with the reusable Laundry Egg. More than this, it comes with a 10 year guarantee providing you a lifelong, reusable laundry partner!

4.    Get rid of unnecessary cleaning products.

You’ve got your detergents, your softeners, the oxi powders, the stain removers… all these numerous products putting their might into laundry day. And whilst this produces your desired clean clothes; the reality is these items cost money, increase plastic consumption, and become cupboard fillers. ecoegg aims to tackle the surplus laundry expenditure by compiling multiple products into one detergent formula and its egg to house it.
