Tackle tough challenges | Finish | Why you should use the eco cycle on your dishwasher

When you’ve spent hours in the kitchen cooking a meal, it can be tempting to wash your dishes on a short (one hour) or intensive dishwasher cycle to get them squeaky clean as fast as possible. But opting for the eco cycle is a small switch that can have a big impact, with benefits ranging from cheaper bills to lower water consumption.

Worried your dishes won’t come out as clean? With Finish Ultimate Plus, you can be sure you’ll get a superb finish on any cycle, including the eco setting. And though it might take a little longer, you can just leave it to run overnight, so you’ll have sparkling dishes ready for first thing in the morning.

Here are just four reasons why you need to give eco a go...

1. It saves energy

One of the main advantages of the eco cycle is its energy efficiency, as it’s designed to use less electricity than quick, standard or intensive settings. By running at lower temperatures for longer periods, it reduces the overall power consumption of your dishwasher, which is better for both the environment and your home.

2. It can lower your household bills

Of course, using less energy is good for your wallet, too, as it can lead to a noticeable decrease in your electricity bills over time. With energy costs constantly fluctuating, small eco-friendly changes, such as switching your dishwasher cycle, can add up to significant savings across the year.

3. It reduces water usage

The eco setting uses a lower volume of water compared to other dishwasher cycles, ensuring each wash is as efficient as possible, without compromising on cleaning power. Not only does this help to conserve a precious resource, but it could also cut your utility costs even further.

4. It’s just as effective as other cycles

You might assume an eco wash won’t clean your dishes as thoroughly, but you won’t have that problem with Finish Ultimate Plus. Each tablet works just as effectively on an eco cycle, leaving even the dirtiest dishes spotless without the need for pre-rinsing. Simply load your dishwasher, select the energy-saving setting and let Finish do all the work.
