Save water with IKEA products
Less than 3% of the water on our planet is fresh. That’s one of the reasons IKEA set about making showers and kitchen and bathroom taps that use less of this precious resource. As the saying goes, you never know the value of water until the well runs dry.

Tip
Washing your dishes in a dishwasher helps you to save water compared to doing your dishes by hand. Hand washing can use up to three times as much water as machine washing.
