Why is it so important not to flush the toilet after every visit to the bathroom?
If it’s yellow, let it soften. If it’s brown, flush it down the toilet.
In other words, only flush the toilet when absolutely necessary, especially if there’s solid waste or strong odors. Urine is naturally sterile and harmless as long as you keep the toilet clean.
Fewer downloads don’t mean less cleaning
You don’t have to live with dirty toilets to save water. The key is cleaning them regularly: flush them every two or three days, or if you use them heavily, daily.
Bonus tip: Add a few drops of lemon, eucalyptus, or lavender essential oil to a small container near the toilet to control odors.
Simple solutions with a big impact
You don’t need complicated equipment to make a difference. You just need to change your habits.
Put off doing laundry until it’s really necessary
If possible, invest in a dual-flush toilet or a low-flow toilet: modern models use less than 3 liters (0.8 gallons) of water per flush.
Be mindful of others
If you share an apartment with others or use public restrooms, always respect their preferences. Etiquette is important: consult with your roommates or landlords before changing your restroom habits.
Simply put: by making small changes to your daily habits, you can save thousands of liters of water per year, conserving valuable resources, and contributing to environmental protection. Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest.
