Saving money on detergents with a water softener

In a similar way to your shampoo and conditioner having to work harder to make a lather, your washing detergent works much less efficiently in hard water. In fact, many detergents now state to use a larger dose in hard water areas to ensure your clothes are being cleaned effectively.

By switching to softened water, you could potentially save £184.47 a year on your detergent costs alone.

Yearly saving on detergents is taken from data supplied by Harvey with the original data source being ONS – Census 2021.
