Title: Water use.
Post by: Sunshine/Cleaning on July 08, 2010, 03:55:17 pm

I was just trying to work out what amount of £'s I get per litre of water used. Some days it's about 50p per litre other days its nearer £1 per litre.

Anyone else worked this out?

My year amount last year was £0.85 per litre used.

Seriousely though try this method for water efficiency:

I use this "water off scrub" method with a high flow rate (Backpack uncotroled!) and find I scrub more and rince well AND use a reasonable amount of water.  I can do about 25 georgean windows from a BP full (18ltrs).

Did anyone else hear him say 'monthly' at 0:06?

If thats correct ...kind of throws out the idea that the Americans have their houses cleaned annually.
