“In a ‘greening’ meeting  last year – a Sustainability Specialist told us that the big problem we’d all be facing in the not too distant future was a water shortage, it hit home that we should try to get people thinking about showering responsibly.

So we got out a stopwatch, and worked out that you  only need about one hundred and twenty seconds of running water to get washed, shampooed, conditioned
and rinsed… then we gave the concept a catchy code name: the 2-minute rinse.tm

You can do it too. all you need is 2 minutes…..

here’s an easy ‘technique’ from alex, our in-house 2-minute rinse expert. she does it like this:

1
40 seconds of running
water to warm up and get
‘all over watered’.
then turn
off the tap.
2
scrub on a handful
of shampoo,
then your shower gel.
rinse for 40 seconds.
tap off again!
3
massage on your
hair conditioner
(if you use it).
scrub your feet
with a brush.
4
rinse for 40 seconds.
tap off.
5
you’ve done it!
showers uses waste up to 6 litres of water*
your teeth can climate change is 9 litres of water per minute for london by over100,000,000 litres a day by 2025 (in the Western World)
