one Remove dust dry

The easiest option not to use cold water is to refuse wet cleaning. This does not mean that the interior should be left in desolation, just do dry cleaning while the hot water is turned off. You can brush off the dust, put things in their places, ventilate and humidify the air even without warm water. Buy a pipidastr — a special brush for cleaning surfaces from dust using a dry method. Frequent use of a humidifier or air purifier — these devices minimize the amount of flying particles in the air.

2 Use wet wipes

The range of wet cleaning wipes is now so extensive that they can completely replace your favorite microfiber cloths along with most detergents. There are napkins for washing mirrors and glasses, for cleaning in the kitchen and just universal ones that are suitable for any room. The advantage of cleaning with wet wipes is their hygiene. While rags and sponges wander from room to room, napkins are regularly sent to the trash can. Not very economical and environmentally friendly, but clean.

If you are allergic to chemicals, look for wet wipes in the children’s section labeled 0+. As a rule, baby care products do not contain fragrances and harmful impregnations.

3 Heat water if you need it

Some types of cleaning without water cannot be carried out. For example, wash the dishes. In order not to use ice-cold tap water, it is better to wash the dishes in boiled water. You can warm the kettle and mix hot water with cold water or use a kettle. When it is required to wash a baking sheet or a pan, water can be warmed directly in a dirty dish.

A more expensive option is to install a boiler. Yes, this is not an economical fixture due to the additional costs of purchase, installation and maintenance. But if we are talking about comfort and frequent interruptions in hot water supply (they happen in new buildings and old emergency houses), then buying a boiler will quickly justify itself.

four Make blanks

How will this help keep your life in order? Easy, because you will need to wash fewer dishes and surfaces than if you were preparing a dish from scratch. For the period of water shutdown, it is better to plan cooking in advance: some of the products can be frozen in advance in a zip bag or any container, so that they can simply be reheated later.

For example, main dishes will retain their taste if they are pre-cooked and frozen in a disposable foil container. In it, it will be possible to immediately heat the dish in the oven, and after use, throw it away.

5 Take advantage of cold water

For example, some dishwashing detergents do not lose their effectiveness in cold water. Moreover, some types of cleaning are best done with cold rather than hot water. For example, mopping floors. After wet cleaning with hot water, stains may remain on the surface. Cold has no such problem. Yes, and some floor coverings (for example, linoleum) do not react very comfortably to interaction with boiling water.

6 Automate your floor cleaning

To have less contact with cold water, but not stop cleaning, turn to convenient gadgets. For example, to a floor mop, which can be wrung out with a pedal or a comfortable handle. So you don’t have to put your hands in cold and dirty water when you want to clean the floors.

A more expensive “toy” is a washing robot vacuum cleaner. It is enough to pour water into a special container, wet a rag and run.
