Cheeky Wipes washable cloth baby wipes kit could save Thames Water £6 million per year
(PRWEB UK) 5 November 2012
Says Helen:
“I’ve sat and worked this out – it costs approximately 3.8 pence every time someone needs to go the loo using the Thames Water solution whereas Cheeky Cloth Baby Wipes only cost .06 of a penny per time. So that gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘spending a penny’, doesn’t it? [1]
And with more than 15,000 happy customers, Cheeky Wipes has saved more than 216 million wipes being flushed down the toilet or going to landfill, in the last four years alone – and that’s a conservative estimate! [2]
Says Helen:
“If Thames Water encouraged people to use Cheeky Wipes, they could save up to half of their £12 million pound annual cost on clearing around 80,000 blockages a year so it really does add up for families to think about what they use.” [3]
Helen has tried to contact Thames Water to offer her natural, washable wipes as a solution but as yet, she’s not had a reply. She says that’s “no surprise as their solution is revenue generating and keeps them in business.” When it comes to numbers, Helen really does know what she’s talking about because she worked for financial service providers for 17 years and she is acutely aware that families need to save at every opportunity, because she’s a mum of four herself.
Says Helen: “By making families aware of that fact that they have a choice when it comes to wiping their bottoms, we can enable them to have happier, healthier bottoms and make the planet healthier and happier as well.”
