INTRODUCTION
Casavedese has learned to regard water as precious resource that many in the world do not even have.
It is shame to flush the WC with clean water.
We are happy to welcome guest who share this view. Every bathroom at acasasvedese has tools to take care of shower water (called grey water when it contains some soap and dirt.
Good use of laundry machine
You can use our laundry machine as the water from the washing machine is used to clean the floors. The condense from the AC we always set on dry i saved. But we recommend to put laundry in soap during night and rinse in the machine the day after
We avoid as much as possible chlorinated products please.
we use oxygenated detergents!
They are not needed as most bacteria do not survive dry surfaces longer time and they do not like ecofriendly soap. Bacteria wants humidity and about 27 Celsius like under our nails as among others the a Swedish immunologist Agnes Wold explains in her SR podd

Ecofriendly showers
During summer with the heat we have it is important to be able to take a shower now and then. We made a check of shower water consumption.
A water truck with 7 cubic meter costs 40 Euro on Lipari in June 2026 discounted price due to water emergency. How many showers can be done with 1 m³ (m^3) When the landlord takes a a shower he does not let any water disappear in the drain.After one shower he saved about 10 liter grey water (water with soap) As 1 m³ = 1000 liter, with his way of doing shower he can make 100 showers with 1 m³
- With the shower water he can water the garden trees because their deep roots that are not damaged by soap. . The phosphate in the grey water also provides nutrients to the trees.
- A good way to use grey water is also to use it to flush the wc
- or to rinse plastic and metal from bio that attracts ants and rats.
We have now (July 2)approximately 4.5 m³ in the water tank. So my guests can during July and August do 450 showers if they are careful with the shower water consumption I ask however my guest to do shower on the beach if showers are available. Some beaches have communal water something that casasvedese does not have access to. We rely on rain water and communal water now and then only on weekends. But due to leaking communal water tubes we have not has any communal water since May this year.
