BigGreenSmile.com sells the largest range of water saving products in the UK, including shower timers. Shower timers monitor the time you spend in a shower and challenge you to reduce it. One extra minute in the shower uses around 9 litres of water, so by cutting down your lathering time, you also cut those nasty bills.
Wait until you have a full load before switching on the dishwasher and washing machine.
The weekly supermarket shop can be reduced by swapping washing powder for eco-balls, which are reusable for up to 1,000 washes and cost around 3p per wash, compared with 25p - 30p for traditional detergents.
Use the minimum amount of water required when boiling water or use an eco kettle. That way you’ll save energy, water and money.
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, washing your hands or washing the dishes, this can save up to 6 litres of water per minute and shave £ off your bills.
Wash vegetables and fruit in a bowl rather than under a running tap and use the water collected for watering pot plants.
Eco-friendly bulbs, available on the site, use 25watts of energy but put out a daylight equivalent of 100watts and remember that a laptop uses 70% less energy than a desktop computer.
Nicholas Buhler, BigGreenSmile.com Director, said, “Today’s news about rising inflation rates means we really need to look at how we can save money. We sell a wide range of products that help change the way we consumer energy and water. BigGreenSMile.com allows people to make small changes in the way they consume and shop so they can help cut their outgoings and protect the planet at the same time.”
