Easy water-saving tips in the bathroom

Saving water in the bathroom is an easy, hands-on way of being more efficient with the use of resources at home. Add the energy savings from heating less water and it’s clear that this can mean a lot for your wallet too.

Each shower makes a difference

Changing your shower head and handshower to water-saving ones adds up to big results over time. Since there’s no noticeable difference in water pressure, the comfort is the same as before. While you’re waiting for the shower to get hot, why not save the water for your flowers?

Boosting tap efficiency

A water-saving mixer tap by the wash-basin is another way to conserve water and energy. Adding an ÅBÄCKEN mist nozzle helps you save even more. It’s easy to install and easy to use – simply turn it to switch between mist and spray.

A musical shower challenge

Starting a favourite song on your Bluetooth speaker before you step into the shower, and trying to get done before it’s over, is a fun way of saving water. The trick is to choose a track that’s long enough to get clean, but short enough not to be wasteful.

Which towel is which?

Hooks and rails can help organise the towels currently in use, so they don’t go to the laundry prematurely just because you don’t know how many times they’ve been used – or by whom. And of course, less laundry means less water.
