Foam soap saves

According to Deb, organisations
often over-look the washroom when
assessing environmental impact,
despite them accounting for around
65% of water use in many businesses.

Whilst there are numerous ways to
save water, one consideration should
be the choice of soap. Independent
research, commissioned by Deb, has
shown that when using foam soap,
people use 16% less water than when
using liquid soap.

Water savings can be increased
further by adopting Deb’s
recommended foam soap hand
washing technique – dispense, lather,
tap on, rinse. By switching to this
method people could use up to 45%
less water compared with liquid soap.
