Unless you are part of the no-wash movement, doing at least one load of laundry is likely a pillar of your weekly routine. The average UK household washes about 270 loads a year, but that number is likely closer to 470 loads a year if you are a family of two adults and two children.
However, if you are among the two-thirds of Britons who wash clothes you have not even worn, or the third who wash garments after one wear, chances are your washing machine is going on even more times each year.
Thankfully, the back-breaking days of washboards and scrubbing are long behind us, and we now have hi-tech washing machines to do all the hard work for us. The latest generation of machines takes washing laundry to the next level, with smart features such as synced-up apps, AI-assisted stain removal and steam cleaning.
Washing machine brands are also mindful of the climate crisis and have designed units with excellent energy efficiency, specific eco programs and reduced water consumption. So, now your conscience can be as clean as your laundry.
