How to Become Greener

We thought that we could give you 10 tips to having a greener bathroom…

1. Make sure that your bathroom products packaging is bio-degradable, if its not unwrap it at the store counter and leave a strong message to the manufacturer.
2. Buy and use soap which is environmentally friendly such as Handmade Natural Soaps from Lush. 
3. When cleaning your bathroom do not use heavy bleaches, there are plenty of natural cleaners available.
4. When washing your towels and face cloths, use washing machine liquid which is environmentally friendly.
5. Replace those old bulbs with nice energy efficient cfl lights, they come in all shapes and sizes now.
6. When your not in the bathroom turn the lights off.
7. Make sure that you have a toilet which has a dual flush system, if it does not place a brick in the cistern this will with an average brick save roughly 1ltr of water per flush.
8. When brushing your teeth, don’t leave the tap running, your wasting water.
9. If you do not already efficiently heat your water, find out how you can, ie new boiler or energy efficient electric shower. W strongly suggest Tankless instantaneous water heaters save money and are more energy efficient than tank type water heaters. Click here to find out more.
10. If you use cotton based products and toilet paper, if this is not soiled or has products that are bad for the environment it can be composted ( composting tips coming soon to this website)
