Personal washing in the bath accounts for 21% of all the water we use in our homes.
Filling your bath uses an average of 80 litres of water. This is a huge amount to soak in for 10 minutes and then simply throw away.
And not only are you wasting water in your big bath, you’re also wasting all the energy to heat it up in the first place too!
Why not try cutting down on the amount of water in your bath? Using more than it takes to cover your body isn’t necessary and will simply create extra waste. Save your big bath-brimming soaks for rare and special treats!
As an alternative, you could consider cutting down on how often you have a bath. Maybe have one a week, rather than two or three, and try to take a shower instead of bathing whenever you can.
