Pretty much everyone is making an effort to be more green these days, in all areas of our homes and lives. Today, lets look at some options for eco-friendly items in the bathroom.
Bamboo is a popular, attractive and eco-friendly material option- its the fastest growing plant on the planet making it a highly renewable source, it can grow without pesticides or chemicals and is naturally water resistant, making it a smart choice in bathroom and kitchen products.
Umbra makes some awesome products for the bathroom from bamboo. Shown above: the Shamboo Shower Caddy and Aquala Bath Bridge (comes with spots for soap, razor, book and wine glass, sigh!).
The spa-like Banu Bath Mat is really sturdy and solid for stepping out of the shower or bath with wet feet onto (22.5" x 16").
And for organizing those little bits & bobs, jewelry, watches, etc. we have the Tuck Folding Box. Another option for all kinds of organizing and storage (I even made some small bathroom shelves out of these which I absolutely LOVE) are the bamboo stacking boxes. They are available in a wide array of sizes (depths, lengths and widths from 2.5" to 16"), can be stacked on top of each other to create multi-tier organizers, are great in drawers and on counters for tidying stuff up. I use these to contain all my makeup, organize nail polishes, aspirin/vitamins, and hair stuff; they really do the trick!
Vinyl and PVC shower curtains have been getting a lot of press lately in regards to concerns about the health issues related to the chlorine in PVC and release of dioxins in its manufacture and disposal. As a safer, healthy, and more eco-friendly option we carry a wide range of PVC/chlorine-free plastic (EVA or PEVA) and waterproof fabric shower curtains and liners. These come in a variety of colours, patterns and textures and are generally in the $10-$30 price range.
