5 easy ways to make your bathroom more sustainable Tampa Bay, FL

Updated: Nov 14

The entire country has experienced its share of extreme weather lately. Record-breaking heat, torrential rain, drought—you name it, Mother Nature has been doling it out. This has caused many people to start thinking about climate change and what they can do to help, including improving their homes' environmental footprint. If we all put in a little effort, it starts to add up, and one place to make simple, impactful changes at home is the bathroom.


Here are some easy ways to make your bathroom and the planet more sustainable.


Replace your throne with an eco-friendly toilet. Toilets can account for up to a third of the water used indoors, and a leaky toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day. Replacing your traditional toilet with a high-efficiency model with a WaterSense label, like the TOTO Guinevere One-Piece Toilet, can reduce the water you use per flush. While traditional toilets typically use 1.6 gallons, high-efficiency models usually do the job with just 1.28 gallons per flush or less. And those per-flush savings can add up!

Nationally, if all old, inefficient toilets were replaced with WaterSense-labeled models, we could save billions of gallons annually. The TOTO Guinevere is an excellent, high-efficiency toilet that conserves water and does not sacrifice performance. TOTO toilets are more effective in one flush than most toilets are with multiple flushes. This is due to cutting-edge technologies like the TORNADO Flushing System and CEFIONTECT ceramic glaze, which reduces waste buildup and keeps the bowl cleaner. As a result, they promote sustainability by saving you a significant amount of water. That's a true win-win.


Swap out your toilet seat for a bidet seat. TOTO originated the luxury bidet seat with the introduction of the WASHLET. Today, WASHLET bidet seats are taking the country by storm as a way to bring a luxury spa-like experience to your bathroom - with no need for a plumber. To install one, you simply replace your existing toilet seat. The WASHLET takes cleanliness and hygiene to the next level and offers many other benefits.
