Cleaning hard surfaces
Cleaning your driveways and footpaths are activities that traditionally use a lot of water, but there are easy alternatives to keep the outside of your home looking neat and tidy.
To help you save water, here are some tips to keep your home and surrounds looking clean:
- Use a broom, brush, blower or rake to sweep and clean outdoor paths and paving instead of hosing them down with water
- Spot clean any marks using a hose with a trigger nozzle or a high-pressure cleaner
- Fill a bucket, and use a sponge to remove extra stubborn marks
- Wash your vehicle on the grass
