A crazy-hot summer means we’re keen to learn how to use our water wisely. Fortunately, Cascade‘s R&D expert, Morgan Brashear, has three tips on how to do just that! —Vita Daily
use your dishwasher wisely. Try to ensure you’re loading your dishwasher efficiently. Using Cascade Platinum ActionPacs can save 57 litres of water per dishwasher load by eliminating the need to pre-rinse your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. Not to mention, dishwashing saves more water compared to handwashing.
reduce water waste. You can save six litres of water every minute by turning off the tap while you’re brushing your teeth, shaving or washing your dishes by hand. Checking faucets, pipes and toilets for leaks, and fixing them right away, can save 60 litres of water each week. Investing in efficient appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers, shower heads and low-flow toilets, will also reduce water waste.
water your lawn less. Only water your lawn when it’s absolutely necessary, not when it’s cool or expected to rain. Place mulch or pool covers around plants to reduce evaporation and weed growth. Installing a water butt on your drainpipe to catch rainwater, rather than using treated tap water to water plants, will also save water and is healthier for the plants.
