I traded my usual dishwasher setting for this eco-friendly alternative— it’s saving me £35 a year and my dishes are just as clean as before

Stacked dishwasher with open door in kitchen with green cabinets and a pot on the hob.

With four of us in the house, the dishwasher is often in use. Between juggling work and after school clubs, meal times can sometimes feel rushed, so we end up resorting to using the dishwasher at least five times a week.

The good news is that dishwashers are actually more eco-friendly than handwashing dishes. So I'm already part way there!
