Easy Ways To Go Green in the Bathroom + Scott Tube-Free Toilet Paper Coupon

Easy Ways To Green Bathroom

Easy Ways To Go Green in the Bathroom

National Simplify Your Life Week (August 2-8)

Every year, over 17 billion toilet paper tubes are used in the US. I know my house contributes a lot of empty tubes to that number. It seems like such a waste to throw away the tubes. We recycle and upcycle tubes whenever we can. But did you know there is a tube-free toilet paper option?

Scott Brand created an innovative tube-free toilet paper. Going tube-free is an easy way to reduce the amount of waste my family creates in the bathroom. For National Simplify Your Life Week, my household made the switch to Scott Tube-Free Bath Tissue. Can you imagine the environmental impact it would make if everyone switched to tube-free bath tissue?

I don’t know why it took so long for anyone to figure out that a toilet paper roll does not actually NEED the cardboard tube inside of it. I put a roll of Scott Tube-Free tissue on the spindle just like any other roll of bath tissue. You don’t even realize anything is missing once it is on. It’s just like regular toilet paper except there is not a wasteful tube at the end!

I have never used Scott Brand toilet paper before, so I was pretty nervous about how it would feel when we used it. The tissue is strong and does not feel thin. Plus, I give it a thumb’s up for softness. Want to give Scott Tube-Free a try? You can find it at Walmart or use this Local Retailer Locator.

Save $1 on tube-free toilet paper with this Scott Coupon. See what other people are saying about tube-free when you watch this Scott Man on the Street video.

Another simple way to reduce the amount of garbage in the bathroom is to refill hand soap bottles instead of buying new hand soaps every time it goes empty. My family likes to use foaming hand soap. I found out that I can buy refills for my foaming hand soap. Instead of throwing away my plastic hand soap bottles, I refill them. Refilling my hand soap saves me money, too.

A couple of easy ways to conserve water in the bathroom include taking shorter showers and turning off the water faucet while you brush your teeth or shave.

Most bathroom light fixtures use more than one light bulb. At my house, there are 6 bulbs that light up every time we flip on the bathroom light switch. LED light bulbs are the most energy efficient option. They use 75% less electricity than incandescent light bulbs.  Changing to LED bulbs will save us money on electricity, plus LED bulbs last 25 times longer than regular bulbs so we will not need to replace light bulbs as often.

Clean your bathroom with eco friendly cleaning products. One natural cleaning product you probably already have at your house is vinegar. Try cleaning your toilet bowl with a cup of vinegar and a scrub brush. Vinegar is all-natural and effective at killing germs.

To sum it all up, easy ways anyone can go green in the bathroom are: 

  • Switch to Scott Brand Tube-Free Bath Tissue
  • Use refillable hand soap dispensers.
  • Save water by using less.
  • Swap incandescent light bulbs for energy-efficient LED light bulbs.
  • Use eco friendly cleaning products.

    I think this is a brilliant idea. I love cutting down on things we send to the landfill, so I will definitely be on the lookout for these. I hope other brands follow their lead.

      I totally agree with you and hope other TP makers will decide it’s a good idea to get rid of the tubes, too. They really aren’t necessary.

    I love this! I’ve been saying for years that the center role was useless. I’m glad somebody has finally done away with it!

    I think this is an interesting idea! I have seen commercials on tv and wondered how well they roll. Looks like there is enough space to roll good. I might check into this.

      Yes, they will roll just fine even without the tube. We have gone through a couple rolls already and had no problems whatsoever. It’s kind of nice to use every bit of tissue, too. Sometimes people will throw it away with 3-5 squares of TP still wrapped around the tube. I always try to catch that because I don’t like to waste TP. 🙂

    I like this idea because it is a great way to be green. Most of the time we keep the rolls and use them for crafts for the kids too.

    My Mother-in-law was just mentioning how much she would love a tubeless roll of toilet paper. She would absolutely love these new Scott’s rolls!

      She will love it that there is a tubeless roll now. I don’t know how long they have been making it, but I had never seen this kind before. Maybe I just wasn’t looking – but Scotts Tube-Free TP rolls are at Walmart. Be sure to print the coupon and save a dollar! 🙂

    I love the tubeless rolls. I hate when people leave an empty roll on the rack this will solve that problem also.

      The empty TP tube is one of my pet peeves too. I am the only person in my house who knows how to switch it out. It’s one of my special skills. LOL

    I have often wondered if there was really any point to the toilet paper tube anyway. It’s just something else that gets thrown away and clogs up the landfill.

      I hear you on that! I have to remind my kids all the time to turn off water, lights etc. Somehow people can turn things ON, but turning things OFF is a whole other story.
