Dishwashers can be water savers – new models use less than washing up by hand
A large efficient dishwasher uses about 10 to 12 litres of water per wash
Dishwashers can avoid arguments about whose turn it is to wash up!
By not overfilling the kettle you can cut its energy use by a third
Only boiling the water needed in kettles could save the UK more than £1 million a week
In the UK we drink 229 million cups of tea and coffee every day
Washing machines use about 15 per cent off all water in the home
A large modern washing machine uses about 60 litres of water per wash
Old models and inefficient ones can use up to 100 litres each time
One washing load each day adds up to 22,000 litres of water and £65 per year
A running kitchen tap can use more than nine litres of water each minute
Fitting a tap aerator can save thousands of litres of water each year
Using a washing up bowl instead of a running tap saves ££s on water and energy bills
