To save water, be sure to load the machine to capacity! Air drying, instead of heated drying, will save energy. When selecting a new machine, choose a model that is energy and water-efficient.
When washing dishes by hand, wash with sudsy water in one compartment of the sink, and rinse with fresh water in the other. Do not let the tap run constantly! If your sink has only one compartment, buy a 2-compartment rubber divider!
