Water is a scarce and valuable resource that we need to protect and use respectfully and frugally.
That is why I shower and wash my hair once a week. The rest of the week I wash in a bowl of water – and then reuse that water for flushing the toilet. I’m sure I’m still clean and fresh smelling!
We only use the toilet flush for ‘number twos’ and use hand wash water (having used a bowl) to flush the toilet.
For toilet cleaning I use hot water and citric acid followed by a dose of bicarbonate – the following burst of bubbles is very dramatic. In this way I hope to reduce the adverse chemicals entering the drains as well as using cleaning materials that come in paper packaging.
