In the Bathroom
For more information:
After your shower, wipe the steam from the mirror to clean it, rather than using chemicals.
Buy large containers of shampoo and soap and fill small dispensers.
Use refillable razors rather than disposable.
Purchase an electric toothbrush and replace the bristle attachments.
Shave with brushed-on cream rather than canned foam.
Keep a plastic cup by the sink, rather than throwing away paper ones.
more tips- Instead of paper towels, use a reusable wipe, rag or sponge for cleaning the bathroom. Be sure to wash it between uses.
- Use up health and beauty products by adding water to the last few drops of shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap.
- Use a washcloth with your facial cleanser, instead of a disposable pad.
- Baking soda and water is a good tile and tub cleaner and a natural acid, such as vinegar, removes lime scale.
- For a disinfectant, mix one-half cup of borax with a gallon of warm water.
- Instead of using harsh drain cleaning chemicals to clear clogs, try using a plunger first. You can also try 1 cup of baking soda plus a 1/2 cup of warm vinegar down a clogged drain. Let stand a few minutes, flush with warm water and repeat as needed.
