Everyone has a washing machine.
And when you have a family of 4, it turns every day.
Unfortunately, launching a machine is not free!
You have to pay for the laundry, but in addition it costs electricity and water...
How much ? To help you, we did the math for you.
Here's how much it costs you every time you run a cycle.
Each machine costs you €0.93 for electricity and water . Watch:
There you go, now you know how much it costs you every time a washing machine is started at home!
It hurts the wallet, doesn't it?
Especially when you realize how much it makes over 1 year...
Each year, you get €70 for a family of 4!
Or if you are alone, that's €44 per year.
These calculations are made on the basis of 1 kWh =€0.18 including tax (price of the average kWh at EDF) and on the basis of 1 m3 of water =€3.39.
Want to save money on washing your laundry at home?
Good idea considering the price it costs on a daily basis!
The problem is that it's difficult to part with your washing machine...
Washing clothes by hand is almost impossible for a family of 4...
Luckily, you can save money elsewhere.
