Do you feel like you are flushing money down the toilet? You might be! Did you know that the bathroom is one of the costliest rooms in your home? Between the water use and the price on toiletries, this can be a huge money wasting zone.
When using shampoo, only use about a quarter-size amount on VERY wet hair. If you feel like this is not enough, add water to your hair before adding more shampoo. You might be surprised.
Do the opposite with conditioner. Wring the water from your hair, work through a small amount of conditioner and then rinse.
If your children use too much shampoo or conditioner, use one of these two methods to teach them the correct amount:
1. Place the correct amount in a sauce cup for the child to use.
2. Use a permanent marker to place a line on the bottle so they know where to stop.
Buy whatever shampoo is on sale. Forget about product loyalty. Besides, using a different brand of shampoo each time you wash your hair keeps the PH balanced. Your hair will be healthier and super shiny!
Need a good detangler? Add a couple of drops of regular conditioner to a spray bottle. Add water and shake.
Stop plumbing problems quick! Visit a website like www.lowes.com for quick and easy ways to fix leaky faucets or toilets without calling a professional before all that money goes down the drain.
Turn off the water when brushing your teeth! How many times have you heard that one?
Use less water every time you flush the toilet by placing a brick in the reservoir.
Run the bathroom fan during and after your shower. This allows the steamy air to escape without making your air conditioner work too much overtime.
Never buy a new toothbrush. When you visit your dentist twice a year, ask for a toothbrush sample.
Never pay more than $0.99 for a tube of toothpaste. Drugstores always have deals on toothpaste. Matched with coupons, you could even get it for free!
