Giving your bathroom a simple makeover is a great way to freshen up your space and make it more environmentally friendly at the same time. Here are five simple ways to give your bathroom a plastic-free makeover in just a day.
1 - Invest in bamboo or wooden accessories
Replace plastic toothbrush holders, soap dishes, and toilet brush holders with eco-friendly alternatives made from bamboo or wood. These materials are sustainable, biodegradable, and add a natural yet luxurious touch to your bathroom decor.
2 - Switch to biodegradable toilet tissue
One of the easiest and most impactful swaps you can make is to switch out conventional toilet paper for bamboo or recycled toilet paper. Luckily, we have both options available which you can order directly from our website – we even have regular subscriptions available so you will never run out again.
3 - Make your own cleaning products
Create your own bathroom cleaning products using natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda and essential oils. Use these homemade cleaners to keep your bathroom sparkling clean without relying on chemical-laden products in plastic bottles.
4 - Swap bottles for bars
Did you know that switching to a bar soap saves six plastic bottles on average? There are bar soaps for every need available now, from hand washing, to shampooing, even pet soaps! Our beautiful Elliqua Cleansing Body Bars come in four different natural fragrances, are long-lasting, gentle on skin and cruelty free, so you can lather up with a clean conscience.
5 - Choose reusable bathroom essentials
Gradually phase out and replace disposable items like cotton pads, wipes, toothbrushes and swabs with reusable alternatives. Choose reusable cotton rounds made from organic cotton, bamboo washcloths, and silicone ear swabs for a more sustainable and zero-waste bathroom routine. In case you missed it, we have new stories up on our eco blog this month, read about why you need a soap dish and find out how toilet paper is made – spoiler alert, recycled toilet paper is not made from used toilet tissue!
