A new washing machine is a big purchase, so it helps to know what you are paying for. Drum size, spin speed and the number of programmes all matter. Check the machine fits your laundry space and that your plumbing suits the inlet hose. A spare hose is cheap and saves a lot of trouble later.

Energy tips

Fridges run all day, so they are the biggest steady user of power in most kitchens. Keep the coils clean, leave a little space behind the unit and do not set the temperature colder than it needs to be. Check the door seals by closing the door on a slip of paper.

Washing on a cold cycle and running full loads also helps. During load shedding, keep the fridge door closed and it will stay cold for several hours.

Energy tips

A microwave is the quickest way to reheat food and defrost meat before supper. An air fryer takes a little longer but gives you a crisp finish on chips, chicken and roast vegetables. Many Gqeberha households keep both. If you have space for only one, think about what you cook most often during the week and choose from that.

Cleaning an oven does not need harsh chemicals. Mix bicarbonate of soda with a little water, spread the paste inside and leave it overnight. In the morning, wipe it away with a damp cloth and a splash of white vinegar. Remove the racks and soak them in the sink with hot water and dish soap. Repeat once a month and the oven stays fresh.
