5 Eco-Friendly Upgrade You Can Make to Your Bathroom

Environmentally friendly initiatives can help preserve the earth, but can also have a positive effect on your life. Environmentally friendly bathroom upgrades are usually cost-effective and can make your home a healthier place to live. Here are our top five ways you can make your bathroom more sustainable and eco-friendly.

Install Low Flow Showerheads

Low flow showerheads decrease the amount of water being used without decreasing your water pressure. They are easy to install and will make a large difference on the environment and on your wallet.

Use Environmentally Friendly Cleaners

Conventional cleaning products can be harmful to both you and the environment. Instead of using products with harsh chemicals, try making homemade cleaners from items you already have at home. For example, you can make an all-purpose disinfectant by mixing 2 cups of water, a few drops of natural soap and a few drops of tea tree and lavender essential oils. This can be used on virtually every surface except glass. There are also plenty of other homemade cleaning recipes over on our website, here. 

Use Eco-Friendly Bath Products

In the same vein as environmentally friendly cleaning products, you should also try sustainable bath products. Buy bottle-free shampoo and conditioner bars. Use bars of soap instead of body wash. Get reusable makeup remover towels instead of one-time-use cleaning cloths. The amount of swaps are endless!

Change Your Lightbulbs

A simple change you can make in your bathroom is to change your older lights to LED lights. They use significantly less energy and they last a lot longer than traditional halogen lights.

Invest in Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters use significantly less energy than traditional tank heaters, take less time to heat up, and never run out of hot water. Their lifespan is double that of a standard tank heater and less energy expenditure means lower utility bills. You can read more on this subject on our site.
