Everyone washes their hands and several times a day.
So how do you wash your hands properly while saving 15 liters of water with each wash?
Nothing could be simpler, with a bit of method.
Here is a simple technique that we should all know to easily save money at home.
1. Open the faucet to run your hands under the water quickly. It's much easier to lather soap when your hands are wet.
2. Turn off the tap and wash your hands thoroughly.
3. Open the tap again to rinse your hands as quickly as possible. Don't forget to scrub well so that the soap leaves quickly.
4. Turn off the water as soon as the soap is gone.
There you go, you saved 15 liters of water :-)
Easy isn't it? Don't hesitate to give a little demonstration of this method to the whole family so that everyone can save water at home.
To make it easier to turn on the water when your hands are full of soap, installing a mixer tap is highly recommended because it saves water.
This method saves 15 liters of drinking water every time you wash your hands.
I wash my hands more than 5 times a day. So that's already 75 liters a day.
75 liters x 365 days =27.375 m3 of water saved per year.
Knowing that the average price per m3 of water is €3.39 in France, that makes me more than €92 per year.
I let you imagine the substantial savings for a family of 4!
