10 EnergySpin Hacks for Efficient Laundry


10 EnergySpin hacks for efficient laundry, with practical energy-saving tips to cut bills and stress, while keeping clothes fresh and cared for.


10 EnergySpin hacks to use today

 

1. Wash cooler for everyday loads
   Lower temperatures protect colours and reduce energy use. Most daily loads wash well at 30°C. Pair a cool wash with EnergySpin for effective cleaning that relies less on heat. Whites, bedding, and towels sometimes need higher temperatures, so reserve those for hygiene moments.
   
   
2. Sort by soil level to avoid re-washes
   Mud-heavy kits and lightly worn school shirts need different care. Sort by how dirty items are, not only by colour, to stop tough stains from spreading and to prevent repeat cycles. Pretreat marks on cuffs and collars so stains lift first time.
   Try this:
   ·       Light wear: 30°C, short or eco-friendly cycle   
      Heavily soiled: stain pretreat, then an appropriate longer cycle·       Skip overfilling to allow water and detergent to move freely
   
   
   
3. Load to the line, not past it
   A full drum uses energy well, but cramming reduces wash action and leads to poor results. Aim for a hand’s width of space at the top of the drum. This balance supports EnergySpin movement, so detergent and water reach every fibre. Fewer partial runs means fewer cycles across the week.
   
   
4. Choose the Eco programme and let it run
   Eco programmes use lower temperatures and longer soak times to reduce electricity use. With EnergySpin, that efficient action gets a helping hand from smart drum movement. Expect a longer cycle that trades time for lower energy. For mixed cottons, check the Eco 40–60 guidance on your control panel and care labels.
   
   
5. Use a higher spin to speed up drying
   More water out in the spin, less energy in drying. A higher spin setting leaves laundry drier when it comes out of the machine, which shortens line drying time and reduces reliance on a tumble dryer.
   
   
6. Dose detergent right for EnergySpin efficiency
   Too much detergent leaves residue and drags out rinses. Too little risks poor cleaning and repeat washes. Follow the dosing lines on the cap and adjust for water hardness and load size. This supports EnergySpin’s mixing action for a cleaner finish first time.
   
   Quick checks
     Hard water areas often need a touch more, soft water a touch less       
   Liquids suit cooler cycles, powders tackle whites and stains   
     Keep the drawer clean to prevent blockages
   
   
   
7. Keep filters and seals clean
   A clean machine runs efficiently. Wipe the door seal weekly, clean the detergent drawer, and clear the drain pump filter as per the manual. Run a monthly maintenance wash with an empty drum at a higher temperature to tackle build-up. This supports steady performance across every cycle.
   
   
8. Time cycles for off-peak rates
   On a time-of-use tariff, electricity costs vary across the day. Set a delay start so laundry runs during cheaper hours, while still following local noise rules and safe use.
   
   
9. Air dry first, then tumble only if needed
   Line drying or a folding airer indoors uses no electricity, so it is a simple win for efficient laundry. For wetter months, start with a high spin, then finish on an airer near good airflow. If a tumble dryer is part of your routine, shorter runs follow from well-spun loads and regular lint filter cleaning.
   
   
10. Plan a weekly rhythm that fits your life
    Small, frequent loads eat into energy and time. Batch by colour and fabric, then schedule set laundry days. Sports kits on Wednesday, bedding on Friday, uniforms on Sunday, or whatever suits your week. This habit keeps loads near full, supports efficient laundry, and relieves that last-minute scramble.

Why EnergySpin supports efficient laundry

Energy needs shift with fabric type, soil level, and cycle choice. EnergySpin focuses on drum motion that improves detergent and water contact with fibres, so the wash relies less on heated water. That means up to 35% less energy use on selected Beko models, with family-friendly results that still respect care labels.

Extra energy-saving tips that stick

·       Keep a stain stick by the laundry basket, early pretreating avoids repeat cycles.

·       Ventilate while air drying, airflow speeds up moisture release.

·       Refresh lightly worn clothes on a short, cool cycle instead of heavy cycles.

Beko brings reliable, efficient performance to everyday laundry, so fresh clothes fit smoothly into family life.
