Water
Have you ever let the faucet water run while you were brushing your teeth or soaping your hands? Everybody has. Have you ever flushed the toilet after peeing or accidentally flushed twice? Everybody has because things happen. Here are some tips to help prevent these things because it lowers your water bill as well as the amount of water wasted. Did you know all of that water can add up to the point where it is enough to flood the average house and probably more?
First things first: toilets. We have received many potty stories about flooding, clogging and sometimes even exploding, (uncommon,) but here is the main thing you have to know about using the potty (it is not about exploding): If it's yellow let it mellow and if it's brown flush it down. That is the rhyme that could save tons of water and all you must do is remember it.
Of course, after going to the bathroom we wash our hands. The most common problem is this: leaving the water on while soaping the hands. I will make this solution concise and to the point: skip a step. The order for washing hands is wet, soap, rinse, dry. All you have to do to solve the dilemma is soap your hands dry, skipping the first step.
Later, we take showers (hopefully) and this is where a lot of aqua is wasted. People think showers are supposed to be long and luxurious but the primary purpose is to clean. The average shower should take about five minutes so in order to do this, maybe you should install a water-proof clock or where a water-proof wrist watch. If you extremely adore your showers, though, you could have one long a week or every other week. Temperature is also an issue because when people are dissatisfied, they tend to turn on the water full blast. For example, if the water is too hot most people would turn on the cold. How about you turn down the hot water? Less of what you don't want, not more of what you want. An additional shower-saving tip is to turn off the faucets while you are washing, shampooing, or shaving.
After a nice shower we brush our teeth. Many leave the water running after they wet their toothbrush. The solutions are simple: do the same as washing your hands and skip a step or pour a shallow cup of water and dip your toothbrush into it to wet it if you just cannot remember to turn off the faucet.
