Bath mats are among the best products to treat yourself. They keep the floor dry by absorbing extra water and thus provide you with an anti-slip surface. They must be visually appealing and sustainable.
Today, thousands of bath mats are available in the market, but our favorite ones are wooden mats for the bathroom. Firstly, they look very exquisite and are durable. However, they won't soak up extra water compared to standard cotton bath mats. But they are very eco-friendly.
Another plus side is that each time after a shower, you can have a dry surface to step on as opposed to cotton bath mats.
Moreover, with wooden mats, you can say goodbye to any molds and bacteria that might infect your bathroom. So with wooden bath mats, hygiene and sustainability will be hand in hand.
It is not common knowledge that shower curtains can't be recycled and are the major player in increasing pollution. Typical shower curtains constitute PVC, lead, and volatile organic compounds, proving to be highly toxic to our environment.

Look for reusable curtains, machine washable and anti-mold. Also, check their durability of them. Some options include linen curtains, bamboo, cotton, and jute. Another trick is to look for a third-party certificate.
The toothbrush is a vital part of bathroom accessories. The research found that an average American nearly disposed of 300 toothbrushes in their lifetime.
Another survey conducted in South Korea revealed that almost 40.7 percent population had replaced 3 or 4 toothbrushes in the previous six months. That's an insane amount of plastic being added to our environment. So our best option is to opt for bamboo toothbrushes. You can even find them at many fun destinations for travel.
Although the bristled of it still contains plastic, you can recycle it. If you want to change your bamboo brush, remove the blisters with tweezers and then bury the handle in the garden or throw it in a biodegradable bin. It will be recycled in a few years.

Our standard bathroom loofahs are imposters of the real ones. So why go for plastic loofahs when we can purchase organic ones? Simply put, sustainable loofahs do the same job as plastic ones but are eco-friendly. So next time, buy a sustainable loofah for your bathroom.
