When it comes to sustainability, it’s easy to think that the option that is kindest to the planet requires more time and effort. But when it comes to washing our dirty dishes, research has shown that a dishwasher cycle can actually be more eco-friendly than hand washing in the sink!
Saving both time and water-consumption, leading consumer organisation Which? has found that dishwashers are, on average, four times more water efficient than washing by hand per place setting. And what’s more, an average full-size dishwasher can use up to seven times less water – with 2.2 litres of water used per wash compared to up to nine litres when hand washing.
This revelation means that doing our bit to be more sustainable is also easier on our bank balances as water bills are reduced, which is hugely important during the current cost-of-living crisis.
