Helpful hints to ‘go green’ in salon
Easy ways to save money and the planet
Save water
Installing efficient equipment can save you money.
Watch out - a dripping tap wastes up to 7 litres of water in an hour.
Save energy
Use energy saving lamps and fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast.
When radiators are on, windows should be closed!
Be chemical conscious
Avoid using strong cleaning agents.
Use CFC-free sprays.
Always empty your colouring tubes – this way less dangerous substances get into the disposal cycle.
Reduce waste
Use eco-friendly paper bags for OTC products.
For ‘give-aways’, natural, organic bags could be chosen.
Only mix the amount of colour you need.
Reuse and recycle.
Interior design
By using particular colours, natural materials and decoration it is possible to get the green touch without spending a huge amount of money.
Plants arouse the feeling of being united with nature. They purify the air and can provide a nice fragrance.
Wooden furniture and flooring can add a natural warm feel to the salon.
Inexpensive colour changes can create a green ambience.
Laundry tips
Use the smallest amount of detergent possible.
A pre-wash is not necessary when using a modern washing machine.
Don‘t use fabric softener – they reduce the absorption ability of towels.
Always fully load your washing machine.
Don’t use a dryer – they waste a lot of energy - try to dry your laundry after business hours.
A hot wash is not necessary – modern detergents clean your laundry at a temperature between 40°C and 60°C.
Colour compact detergents are mostly eco-friendly.
