The kitchen is the area in the home where we use around 10% of the total household water for cooking, cleaning, washing, and drinking. Of all water used in the home, about 15-20% is used on the laundry, and worst of all, our bathroom habits use nearly 40%!
It is, however, easy to conserve water in the home by making a few simple changes to your daily routines. Just follow the tips below and make changes in your home today.
- Take short showers, instead of bathing
- Use your water meter to check for hidden water leaks
- Install water-saving shower heads and aerators
- Reduce the amount of water flushed down the toilet
- Ensure your washing machine and dishwasher are washing full loads only
- Wash your car with a bucket and water instead of a hosepipe
- Rinse your razor in the sink
- Don't leave the water running for washing and rinsing when doing dishes by hand
- Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush
- Insulate your geyser and water pipes
