Come Clean with the Environment It's almost a ritual - washing your car on a hot summer day. I3ut to come clean with the environment, environment, be careful not to squander squander clean, fresh, valuable water. Here are some water-saving lips for the next time you wash your car. • Wash your car near hedges, shrubs or grass, so the water will not be wasted. - Save water by using a pail of soapy water to wash your car. Use a hose, with a shut-off nozzle, nozzle, to rinse it. Get Into Hot Water Savings "Be sure to check how efficiently efficiently you are using water inside your home as well," adds Mr. Lee. "Conserving water - especially hot water - in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry will save you much needed water heating energy and money, year round." In the Kitchen Canadians use between 30 to 40 litres of water in the kitchen every day. Much of it goes straight down the drain. Try these easy water-saving tips to eliminate eliminate waste. • Don't thaw frozen food under hot running water. Plan ahead and defrost it in the refrigerator refrigerator overnight. • Do only lull loads in the dishwasher and don't pre-rinse. Let the dishwasher do the work. • Rinse vegetables in a bowl of water rather than under a running running tap. Reuse the water to feed your favourite plants. • Keep a full pitcher of drinking drinking water in the refrigerator rather than running the tap to get a single glass of cold water. In the Bathroom We use most of o.ur household water in the bathroom. Although long, hot baths and steamy showers showers feel great, they really add to your energy bill. You can reduce bathroom water usage by as much as.40 per cent a year by sinstalling low-flow toilets, showerheads and aerators in your bathroom and developing .good.- water conservation habits'.. */«. ' • Low-flow toilet's.greatly ' reduce water consuiuption inside the home. A conventional flush toilet, usually one that is 10 years or older, uses about 20 litres of water per flush. Low-flow toilets generate the same "flushing power" with Only six litres of water. That's 70 per cent less water per flush. Cleaning Up After Flooding in tne Home From page 21 rinse several times, removing the remaining water with a wet/dry shop vacuum. Once the rinse water is removed, disinfect and dry your home. Wear protective gear including gloves and masks. Chlorine bleach and non-ammonia dish-washing detergent make good disinfectants. Be sure not to mix bleach and ammonia as the fumes are toxic. Wash and wipe down all surfaces and structures with chlorine bleach, ensuring that there is adequate cross ventilation to remove fumes. Rinse again.
