With These Practical Tips, You Will Save A Lot of Money When Washing Clothes
We don’t always realize this because washing clothes is part of our weekly or even daily life, but the cost of washing clothes can be very high without you realizing it. The average washing cost is between IDR 12,000 and IDR 17,600, depending on the type of washing machine and temperature you use. If you want to save money every month, these seven tips on how to wash cheaper can greatly help you.
Thanks to these tips, you will be able to save quite a lot of money every year.
Full Washing Machine
Okay, it sounds obvious, but it needs to be repeated because many people still tend to ignore this advice. The most important thing in saving money for each load of laundry is only to wash when the drum is full (or, three quarters full and never fill the washing machine to the brim). Depending on the cycle or program you use, you can save IDR 160,000 to IDR 500,000 per year by following this tip.
Temperature
We mentioned this in the introduction, but the temperature where you wash your clothes also greatly affects the cost of washing clothes. Washing at a high temperature costs about IDR 2,700 while washing at a low temperature (like 30 °C) is much cheaper with an average of IDR 1,050. It’s not always necessary to use a hot cycle. Dust and odors are already removed at 20 degrees, and most stains are removed at 30 or 40 degrees.
