Pete's tips


A dishwasher can generate up to 500 kilograms of greenhouse gas a year.


» Look for dishwashers with a 4-star water efficiency rating. (Water-efficient dishwashers are usually energy efficient.)

» Only run fully loaded dishwashers.

» Use the shortest program sufficient to clean the dishes.

» Clean the filter regularly to maintain washing performance.

See www.energyrating.gov.au


Water efficiency matters too.


» The most efficient dishwashers use half the water of average models.

» By 2016, the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards scheme (WELs) could save nearly 1200 megalitres a year in national dishwasher water consumption – that's enough water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools each year.

» This represents a reduction of about 6.5 per cent in the water consumption of the dishwashers sold between 2003 and 2016.
