More and more people are trying to make sustainable choices. Not only in terms of food, clothing and lifestyle, but also when it comes to the interior. There are many ways to make your home more sustainable. So much so that sometimes you don't know where to start. It is then useful to get started per room. In this article you can read 5 useful tips to make the bathroom more sustainable.
Use ecological bath towels in the bathroom. These products are produced fairly, better for the world and have a long lifespan. For example, look at Yumeko's bath towels. The towels, beach towels, washcloths and bath mats are all made from 100% organic cotton. Free from chemicals and produced under good conditions for both people and the environment. This also applies to Yumeko bed linen.
Try to save as much water as possible by taking a shorter shower, turning off the tap while brushing your teeth and quickly repairing leaks. Are you already applying all these tips? Then you may be able to save even more with a water-saving shower head. Nowadays there are even luxury rain showers available with such a special shower head.
Replace all incandescent, halogen and energy-saving lamps with energy-efficient LED lamps. LED lighting saves a lot of energy and also has a very long life. So you don't have to replace the lamps as often. An LED lamp also contains much less harmful substances than other traditional lamps.
Take a critical look at all care products in the bathroom. Chances are that there are many disposable products among them. You can often easily replace it with a reusable version. Think of reusable cotton pads that you can throw in the washing machine and razors where you only replace the blades. All these small adjustments make a huge difference in the long run.
In addition to disposable products, try to buy as few plastic care products as possible. For example, there are packaging-free shampoos and soaps available, glass containers that you can refill and bamboo toothbrushes instead of the standard plastic toothbrush. In addition, take a closer look at the ingredients of a product. Many scrubs, shampoos and make-up products contain microplastics. This all ends up in the water. You can often check on the internet whether your favorite care product contains microplastic and/or whether it has been produced in a sustainable way. A completely natural and sustainable product without plastic packaging is ultimately the best choice.
