How to have a green and eco-friendly bathroom
- Due to poor ventilation in bathrooms it is easy for mold and mildew to develop.
- Strong chemicals used to clean the bathroom can cause the air in your bathroom to be twice as polluted as outside air.
- To detox your bathroom just see what you can swap out for a more natural option for cleaning.
- Cutting back your water usage in your bathroom will not only save you money but help the planet.
- Use safe eco friendly bathroom cleaners in your bathroom such as Seventh Generation or a new green brand by Clorox called Green Works.
- Instead of using air fresheners simply open a window for fresh air, or try to find one that uses essential oils.
- Regular cotton linens can contain pesticides so it is recommended to switch to organic cotton.
- Stay away from vinyl shower curtains when planning environmental bathrooms. They do not decompose when thrown away and release toxic chemicals when burned.
- A good alternative is natural fiber shower curtains like linen that will stand up to your shower in your bathroom.
- Use a natural fiber organic bathmat like one made of bamboo, rather than one made of vinyl. They have natural antibacterial properties that work great in your bathroom.
- Low-flow showerheads can save you up to 1700 gallons of water a year and should be at the top of your green bathroom ideas.
