Hotels/Motels green bathroom remodeling nationwide
Hotels or motels that remodel their bathrooms by going green are following the hotel industry’s move towards environmental sustainability.

Green bathroom remodeling saves money:
Replace showerheads to save water bills:
Replacing water guzzling shower heads with water conserving ones, is an inexpensive way to save water in bathrooms. The performance of a good showerhead should be the same as a normal showerhead. Cheap ones dribble water which defeats the whole purpose of water savings.
Replace older toilets with water saving toilets:
There have been a lot of advancement in the choice of toilets that save water. You can choose a pressurized toilet which fits well over where your old toilet sits.
Pressurized toilets cost more than their standard counterpart and some people claim that they give some problems. On the other hand, dual flush toilets which are popular in Europe are showing up in more and more hotels bathrooms that are using green remodeling to water in their total bathroom remodeling project. It estimated that in one year, a dual flush toilet will save a family where four people are using the bathroom about 15000 gallons of water.
Bathtub refinishing or tub reglazing saves money and the environment:
There are plenty of hotels, retirement homes, nursing homes or bed and breakfast inns that have antique claw foot bathtubs in their bathrooms.
