Tips on how to save water

Ø  Go brush your teeth?
Make your oral hygiene with the tap open slightly for five minutes, spend 12 liters water. So the tip here is to use a glass with water to make the mouthwash and even save 11.5 liters.




Ø  Waxed car without waste.
When you use the hose for 20 minutes to wash the car or the sidewalk,  is used almost 144 liters of water . With a cloth and four buckets 10 liters of water (two to two lather and rinse). You can save 104 liters.




Ø  Bet on the watering can.
When watering the garden with hose for 10 minutes, you use around 186 liters of water, so I prefer the watering can . On warmer days, prefer water the garden early in the morning or at night, so you avoid rapid evaporation of water. In the winter, you can water the garden one day yes and one did not and still save 100 liters of water.


   Ø    It's time for showers.
In a bath of 15 minutes, you can close the shower while soaping and reduce your bath for 5 minutes. So you save about 162 gallons of water.





   Ø  Washing the dishes.
First clean with a sponge, then rinse soap only . The faucet open for 15 minutes spends about 240 liters of water if you just rinse the dishes in the end, you avoid spending 160 liters.





   Ø  Good old broom.
It can be a good option to clean up the yard or driveway. If you feel the need, use a bucket with 10 liters of water to finish cleaning. Another tip is to reuse the water used in washing to clean the yard and save about 560 liters machine.




   Ø  Eyeing the leak.
He may be the greatest villain of your water bill and waste, whereas a drop of water dripping per second is equivalent to 46 liters per day, which at the end of the month will total 1380 liters of water were literally down the drain.
