💧 Save Water, Save the Planet — and Your Wallet Too!

We all know water is essential — but did you know the average UK household uses over 350 litres every day? That’s enough to fill a small swimming pool each week! Whether you want to cut down on bills, live more sustainably, or simply do your bit for the planet, saving water starts right at home.

At Onpoint Services, we love helping homes stay spotless and sustainable. Here’s how you can make a real difference — one drop at a time.

🚿 1. The Five-Minute Shower Challenge

We get it — everyone loves a long, steamy shower. But trimming it down by just two minutes can save more than 15 litres of water every time!

💡 Pro Tip: Set a timer or play your favourite song — when the song ends, your shower does too.

If you want to take it up a notch, install a water-saving showerhead — it uses up to 50% less water while keeping your pressure strong.

🚰 2. Stop the Drip Drama

That tiny, annoying drip you’ve been ignoring? It could be wasting up to 5,000 litres a year — that’s like pouring 60 baths straight down the drain!

Fix leaks quickly, check your taps, and tighten loose fittings. Small fixes make a big difference.

🍳 3. Be Smart in the Kitchen

A few smart habits can go a long way:

• Only fill the kettle with what you need ☕
• Use a bowl to wash fruit and veg instead of running the tap
• Waiting for hot water? Collect the cold in a jug for your plants 🌿

These simple swaps save litres every day without changing your routine.

🧺 4. Laundry Logic

Half loads mean wasted water and energy.
Always run your washing machine and dishwasher full, and switch to eco-modes whenever possible. You’ll save time, money, and water — a win all around!

🌸 5. Garden Wisely

You don’t need a hosepipe marathon to keep your garden green:

• Water early in the morning or late at night to avoid evaporation
• Collect rainwater in a butt or bucket — plants love it!
• Choose low-water plants that thrive naturally in our UK climate



Your garden (and your water meter) will thank you.

🪥 6. Turn Off the Tap

It’s easy to forget, but leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth or shaving can waste 6,000 litres a year — that’s water you’re literally washing away. Turn it off, and you’ll make a difference every single day.

💡 Every Drop Counts

Saving water isn’t about sacrifice — it’s about smart living.
With just a few small changes, you can reduce waste, lower your bills, and protect the planet for future generations.

At OnPoint Services, we believe a clean home starts with caring — for your space, your community, and your environment. Because when your home runs efficiently, everything else just flows better. 💧
