Abstract
The present inventive concept relates to a method for optimizing water usage in a device utilizing water for a group of cleaning procedures, wherein the device comprises a sensor arrangement (518) and a data processing device, wherein the method comprises the steps of: determining a first substance content (400a) of first cleaning phase water from a first cleaning phase of the cleaning procedure (428) using the sensor arrangement (518); in the data processing device, receiving data comprising a target substance content interval requirement (844) of at least one of a plurality of cleaning phases (314); in the data processing device, comparing the first substance content to the target substance content interval requirement (844); and forming cleaning phase water to be used in the at least one of the plurality of cleaning phases (314) by transferring the first cleaning phase water to the at least one of the plurality of cleaning phases (314) based on the comparison.
