The bathroom is a key space for reducing water, energy, and plastic consumption. With a few simple actions and durable products like those from Berninox, it is easy to adopt a more responsible routine.
Replacing disposable items with durable alternatives
Bathrooms are often filled with single-use plastic (shampoo bottles, disposable cotton pads, plastic razors…). Today, there are effective and pleasant alternatives that reduce waste: choose solid formats (soaps, shampoos, deodorants) and washable accessories (reusable makeup remover pads, durable razors…).
Among these simple actions, the choice of toothbrush plays an important role. The Berninox toothbrush with an interchangeable head allows you to keep the handle and replace only the head when it is worn out. Choosing Berninox is like investing in stainless steel cutlery instead of using disposable plastic cutlery for a lifetime! Made in Switzerland with local expertise, our brushes guarantee long-lasting quality and impeccable hygiene (the heads are dishwasher-safe or can be boiled: read the article). By adopting Berninox, you turn a daily habit into a lasting ecological commitment.
Cleaning without chemical products
To maintain your bathroom, there is no need to use chemical products packaged in plastic. White vinegar and baking soda are your best allies for cleaning faucets, glass surfaces, and joints, while limiting packaging and harmful substances.
And why not reuse your worn toothbrush heads to effectively clean joints and faucets? Their small size and bristles make it easy to reach hard-to-access areas, offering a simple and eco-friendly solution for bathroom maintenance.
Using less water and energy
Start with a few simple adjustments: install water-saving devices on your faucets to halve your consumption, and choose showers over baths (a shower uses on average three times less water).
For appliances such as water heaters and towel warmers, you can opt for high energy-efficiency models (A++ or A+++). These small changes make a real difference to your bill and to the planet.
Finally, it is worth remembering that water consumption while brushing teeth can be considerable: leaving the tap running can waste 10 to 12 liters of water per brushing. By turning off the tap and using a glass, consumption is reduced to less than one liter, saving both water and energy. Adopting this simple water-saving habit is essential to preserve this precious resource.
