Most people use more water in the bathroom than any other part of the home – it’s the perfect place to start water saving! Read on for our top tips…
Shower, don't soak!
You don’t have to give up baths entirely, but if you’re a regular bather you could see a big reduction in your bills if you cut down on soaking in the tub. Try a 4-minute shower instead – your water bills should tumble. You’ll also save on heating all that water!
Taps off when brushing teeth
It's a no-brainer for saving water, but you'd be surprised at how many people still leave the tap running while they brush their teeth. Kids are particularly bad for this, so make sure you keep reminding them.
Brush in – tap off!
Try the 4 minute shower challenge
Reduce your shower from 8 minutes to 4 you could save 40 litres of water each time! Plus you’ll knock £75 a year off your heating bill* and reduce your carbon emissions.

Use the little flush!
If you've got a dual flush cistern on your toilet – make sure you push the right button! Save water by using the little flush for small jobs, and the big one only for… um… bigger jobs.
