Any thoughts or advice on how I could reduce my water/electric bills by washing my clothes economically (settings/timings etc)?

I wash everything on the 30 minute, 30c cycle.
Clothes come out absolutely clean.
Make sure the machine is reasonably full before switching it on as well.
Consider if a garment really needs washing or whether it could be worn a couple of times more.0 -
