5 Water saving tips for at Home

  1. One of the easiest ways of saving water is to turn off the tap when you are brushing your teeth or shaving. On top of that, to save a little bit on your electricity bill as well, only use hot water when absolutely necessary. Cold water will do just fine in most cases!
  2. Saving water and electricity can also easily be done by washing your laundry for a shorter period of time, which reduces the amount of water and electricity that you use, and thus your electricity bill as well! Moreover, if you use a good detergent like Surf Excel, your clothes will get clean even on a shorter washing cycle. Often times, clothing just needs a quick wash rather than a long one, so keep that in mind the next time you put them to wash. Saving water has never been easier!
  3. Most people drain the water after they are finished washing their clothes or the floors, but you could be saving water by recycling it! This water could be used to water the plants or wash your kid’s cycles – two birds with one stone!
  4. Wherever possible, wash your laundry in colder water and/or with shorter cycles. You needn’t fear a lack of sanitation though – there are products designed specifically for use with cooler temperatures, like the small & mighty line from Persil (and it comes in eco packaging!).
  5. Recycle the water that’s leftover from washing clothes by hand or hand washing dishes: use it to water plants in the garden, wash the kid’s bikes, or to do a quick mop of the kitchen floor.

With these tips to save water in mind, you’ll be sure to save the environment along with your electricity bill – and you should be proud of both!
