Most of us are already doing our bit for the planet, like using reusable coffee cups or switching to digital billing. But there’s still one big environmental problem hiding in plain sight: toilet paper. The process of making traditional rolls is a massive drain on resources, using up huge amounts of water, energy and, most importantly, trees.
Switching to a Washloo isn't just about the luxury experience; it’s a practical way to join a "paperless revolution" that could save about 384 trees over your lifetime.
Ditching the Waste
The main idea behind a Washloo is simple: swap abrasive, wasteful paper for a precise, warm water wash and a gentle air dry. Making this change can cut a household's toilet paper use by nearly 100%. When you look at the big picture over a few decades, that adds up to a massive environmental win, saving hundreds of trees and cutting out the chemicals and carbon emissions that come with making and shipping paper rolls.
Beyond the "green" stats, it’s just a better way to stay clean. Water is much more thorough and far gentler than dry paper, which can often irritate sensitive skin. With a Washloo, you get a superior, hygienic clean that's also the kindest choice for the planet.
Savings That Add Up
Helping the environment is great, but the financial side is a big plus too. For a typical family of four, it's estimated that the cost of buying quality toilet paper can hit around £250 every year. Over ten years, that’s £2,500 back in your pocket just by changing how you use the bathroom.
The best part? Keeping a Washloo running is easy and cheap. These units are built to be virtually maintenance-free (other than routine cleaning), so you don't need to worry about expensive annual service visits or technical checkups. The only real upkeep is changing the water filter every now and then. We keep those at a flat £15, which includes delivery, so your move to a sustainable home stays affordable.
A Modern Upgrade for Your Home
A Washloo all-in-one toilet also makes a lot of sense for your home's layout. Because the cistern is built right in, the units are more compact and often lighter than old-school toilets, so you don't have to worry about reinforcing your floors during the install. They come with a 15-year ceramic warranty and 2-year electrical coverage, making them a solid, long-term investment. By cutting out the paper today, you're setting up a cleaner, more efficient bathroom for the future.
