Other things to note General House Rules & Conditions 1. OCCUPANCY / HEATING/ WASHING: It is very important to save the water because on the island there is just limited quantity of rainwater collected in the tanks of each house. For this reason, we must be very responsible how we use the water in order not to stay without it: • When washing dishes please use always a dishwasher and wash only full loads in dishwasher on ECO program • Laundry: it is not permitted to do the laundry (wash clothes). Please take enough reserve clothes. • The house water is not for drinking (so I suggest buying it), although you can safely use house water for cooking, tea or coffee. • Shower: if you shower, please take it short and turn off the water while shampooing your hair or cleaning your body. Advice: Do not shower every day after the sea bath because the Sea Salt among lots of benefits offers antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can provide mosquito bite relief • Turn off the water while brushing your teeth or shaving. • Don’t flush the toilet just to get rid of trash. • Use the garbage disposal sparingly.
