Eco-friendly home smart meter
It is in your power to make your home more environmentally friendly and “smart”. Thanks to the “green” materials and household chemicals, you will feel better, and energy saving systems will reduce the cost of utilities. As a bonus, your home will cause much less damage to the environment.
Energy Saving
Turn off the light when you leave the room. When choosing large household appliances, give preference to devices of classes A and A +, they differ in minimum energy consumption. Install good windows, warm the walls – do not heat the street!
Heating
If you plan to make a warm floor in your new apartment or to heat it with electrical appliances, install a heat regulator. The system will maintain the set temperature and turn off automatically.
Rational Water Consumption
Double drainage in the toilet bowl will significantly reduce water consumption. In the bathroom, put the lever mixer with an aerator. This is a special device that mixes water with air.
Household Chemicals
Use detergents with a gentle composition. Or go further – give up chemistry and use popular recipes. Wash dishes with soda and mustard, clean the kitchen surfaces, bath and bathroom with vinegar. For spring washing of windows and struggle against maculae, the lemon juice will suit.

Try to Reuse
Disposable plastic bags are decomposed not one hundred years. Try to go to the store with textile bags – it’s practical and fashionable. Develop the habit of using things repeatedly, if possible. Empty plastic bottles can become watering cans, funnels, scoops, garden handrails. If you have a design talent, old things can transform your apartment.
Simple Things
It is great if in all rooms there are double-glazed windows with wooden frames. Unlike plastic, the tree “breathes” and does not emit toxins when heated. Connect in the kitchen a fine filter – it will save water from harmful impurities (chlorine, oil products, heavy metal salts).
Natural Flowers
Even if you do not consider yourself an amateur gardener, buy or take flowers from friends that do not require special care. Any indoor plant, including the most unpretentious ones like wax ivy, mint tree or chlorophytum, will collect small particles of dust and make the air in the room fresher.
