Why is it so important not to flush the toilet after every trip to the toilet to urinate?

In many eco-friendly homes , a simple rule has become applied:

“If it’s yellow, we wait; if it’s brown, we make it go away.”

In other words, you only flush when you really need to – not every time you pee. Urine is naturally sterile and represents no immediate health risk, provided the toilet is cleaned regularly.

Less hunting, more hygiene

Not flushing doesn’t mean living in a dirty toilet. The crucial thing is to keep regular hygiene, cleaning the bowl and flushing it every two to three days, or even daily if applied frequently.

Extra tip: Add a few drops of essential oils (lemon, eucalyptus, lavender) to a diffuser or a small container placed near the toilet to naturally neutralize odors.

A solution within everyone’s reach
