How To Save Water During The Holidays

 

The holiday season is a magical time, but it can also be a bit hectic. From cooking to having guests, we use a lot more water around this time of the year. Even if you are usually conscious of your water consumption, it might still take a little extra effort to stay on top of it during the holidays.

Stay Conscious While Cleaning

At the end of the day, when it comes time to clean all those dishes, make sure you take the necessary steps to conserve your water while washing. You can turn your water on and off promptly to keep the flow rate low. You don’t have to have the sink running while scrubbing. And for anything going in the dishwasher, try running it as little as possible to keep from wasting. A full load in the dishwasher helps save more water than washing dishes by hand.

Little Hacks

Instead of running water to wash off your vegetables or foods before cooking, use a large bowl or pan full of water to rinse everything. This is a hack that allows you not to have your faucet running the whole time. And eventually, you can use this water for any indoor plants you have around the house. It’s a great way to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Inspect For Leaks

Check your bathrooms or kitchen fixtures for leaks or issues before the holidays roll around. These areas of your home are used more during this time of the year, which could lead to more problems than usual. Even if it’s a small leak, water damage can still happen. Potential health effects and symptoms associated with water damage exposures include allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory complaints, which can be tedious to deal with during what’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year!
