Tips For Making Your Bathroom More Environmentally Friendly

The best place to start your environmentally conscious changes is inside your own home, and the bathroom in particular. We use the bathroom multiple times a day and if we are being reckless, the environmental damage can really add up. Lucky for you, these going green tips will help you reduce your environmental impact.

Convert to All-Natural 
The bathroom should be a place where you can relax, freshen up and feel comfortable. All-natural hygiene products like soaps, shampoos and scrubs can help you do that while also protecting the environment. As you wash, the soapy water that is left behind will eventually find its way down the drain and into your sewage system. If those soaps contain chemicals that create an imbalance in the water, that could mean disaster for the wildlife that comes into contact with it. Help keep your water clean by looking for the 100% All-Natural sticker on all of your bathing products. And if you are feeling extra green, you could even use all-natural candles instead of those chemical-filled air fresheners. 

Conserve Water
When it comes to the environment, conserving water is always a positive. A low-flow shower head can help reduce water consumption by up to 30 percent and that will lead to utilities savings as well. While you're at it, you might as well upgrade your faucet and toilet too!  Another environmentally friendly plumbing change you can make is insulating your pipes. Proper insulation will help water heat up faster and you won't have to run the faucet for a minute to get your desired temperature. Less water use results in more savings and a brighter future! 

Use Recycled Building Products 
If you are in line for a bathroom upgrade, you should choose recycled materials for your finish. Whether it is tile, tubs or counters, the recycled market is growing and there are plenty of stylish options available. 

Going green is a lifestyle that millions of Americans are adopting every year. If you need consultation on how to make your plumbing more environmentally friendly, call the experts at Nassau County Plumbing & Sewer Rooter.
