With current energy prices, we're scrutinizing everything that consumes electricity. The washing machine is one of the biggest energy consumers in the home, especially because heating the water costs an enormous amount of energy. Washing at 60 or 90 degrees is often not necessary at all, but many people don't dare to wash colder for fear that their clothes won't get clean.
The 30-degree revolution Did you know that washing at 30 degrees consumes almost half the energy of washing at 60 degrees? The modern technology in Lavoa's laundry strips has been specially developed to dissolve instantly and become active, even in ice-cold water. While traditional powders often clump at low temperatures, our strips do their job from the very first second.
Save on your clothes and your electricity In addition to a lower energy bill, cold washing is also a blessing for your clothes. Heat damages the fibers of your favorite shirts and trousers, causing them to wear out faster or lose their color. The combination of Lavoa strips and a low temperature ensures your clothes stay like new for longer. That's truly sustainable.
How much do you really save? An average family that consistently lowers the washing machine temperature from 60 to 30 degrees can easily save between €40 and €60 annually on electricity. Add to that the savings from your Lavoa subscription, and you've essentially earned back your first few months of laundry strips for free.
Our tip for a fresh wash: Occasionally wash your towels and bedding at 60 degrees for hygiene, but for all your daily clothes, use the 30-degree setting with a Lavoa strip. Good for the environment, good for your clothes, and fantastic for your bank account.
