Customers of British Gas, Ovo, EDF, EON, and Octopus are being encouraged to do their laundry around midnight to cut down on energy bills, according to a tip shared by viral content creator


Brandy Bride on TikTok, reports Birmingham Live. In response, one viewer commented: "Really? I will never wash during the day again." Another remarked: "Oh really? Thanks for


sharing." A third confirmed: "Yeah it works, I do that." Candy Home advises: "Take a look at your energy account and check your tariff rate. Most people will see that


they have a lower tariff overnight, usually between 11pm and 7am. This is the best time to do your washing as you'll save money." "Saving money on electricity is only part of


the equation. In order to get the best possible wash, you also need to use top-quality products. Fortunately, the concentrated ecological fabric softener of Care+Protect made with


biodegradable vegetable raw materials is the perfect ally to soften fabrics and facilitate ironing. "Combine this with the right time, and you will save money on electricity and reduce


ironing time, meaning further savings are possible." Hotpoint has pointed out: "Two popular off-peak options are the Economy 7 and Economy 10 tariffs. Economy 7 offers seven hours


of reduced rates overnight, ideal for households who can manage their energy use flexibly. "On the other hand, Economy 10 provides ten hours of off-peak electricity, split into segments


that include both early morning and evening periods." According to the white goods manufacturer, utilising appliances such as washing machines during these off-peak hours can help


reduce energy costs considerably each year. The guidance continued: "Picture this: running your machine during off-peak times could help reduce your energy costs by up to £100 a


year." Furthermore, "Embracing these tariffs not only optimises your energy consumption but also enhances the overall sustainability of your home."
