Eco-gestures | Water

Adopt a few simple actions to reduce your water consumption and limit its impact on the environment.

Practical tips to apply every day

• Track down leaks :
  Regularly check the condition of your installations (kitchen, bathroom, toilets) to detect any water leaks.
   
• A 4-minute shower :
  Take shorter showers. Each extra minute represents around 20 additional litres of water.
   
• Tap water first :
  Choose tap water over bottled water — better for the planet and for your budget.
   
• Descale your appliances :
  Regularly descale your appliances (dishwasher, coffee maker, shower head) with diluted vinegar.
   
• Choose eco mode :
  Activate the eco mode of your washing machine and dishwasher : less water, same result.
   
• Choose energy-efficient appliances :
  Opt for class A household appliances, energy- and water-efficient.
   
• Reuse washing water :
  Wash your vegetables in a basin and use the water to water your plants.
   
• Avoid waste :
  Don't let the water run unnecessarily : turn it off while you soap up or brush your teeth.
