Wash by hand - washing dishes by hand saves more than 2/3 of the water used in one dishwashing cycle.

Plug the sink when washing dishes by hand, don't wash under running taps.

If you do use an automatic dishwasher, always ensure you have a full load before turning on the dishwasher. You will pay to use approx. 50 litres of water per load, regardless of whether it is half or completely full.

Refrain from rinsing dishes under the tap before loading your dishwasher. Use the "rinse and hold" setting on your machine instead.

Directly after cooking, soak pots and pans instead of running taps while you scrub them clean. As well as saving you money, this should also save you time.
