Kitchen

Washing dishes and the dishwasher:

• Use the eco button

  If you use the eco programme on your dishwasher, you will also get your dishes nice and clean. You can save water and energy this way!

• Do not turn on the dishwasher until it is full

  If you only use the dishwasher when it is full, then you will not have to turn it on as often.

• Pre-rinsing is not necessary

  There is no need to pre-rinse your dishes under the tap. Remove leftover grease or oil with kitchen paper towels. This also prevents your pipes from clogging up.

• Washing the dishes by hand

  Washing dishes by hand uses less water and energy. So wash dishes by hand more often. This is often better for many pans and knives as well.

• Use a basin

  Do you wash your dishes by hand? Then use a washing-up basin and do not let the hot water tap keep running.

Bonus tip!

• Use a water-saving tap

  Did you know that you can install a water-saving tap not only in the shower but also in the kitchen? Or a tap that you cannot open all the way immediately. This is how you easily save water without noticing.
