Archie says: 'Our study also reveals that by doing 1 main uniform wash and dry cycle a week instead of the average 2.4, there's £36 saving each academic year to be made. 'This could be reduced even further by washing at 30 degrees Celsius instead of higher temperatures, and even more if swapping the tumble dryer for a clothes airer.'Not only that, it will also reduce carbon emissions to the equivalent of a standard car travelling 227 miles.Top 5 uniform washing tipsAlways use an eco-setting when available – they take longer but are cheaper!
