Save rivers & Oceans

We are born in Kanpur by the Ganga, and we know the importance of promoting Sustainable & Mindful living.

As per India Water Portal, recent findings reveal that a staggering 170 million gallons per day (MGD) of untreated wastewater flows into the Yamuna River. Alarmingly, 90% of domestic wastewater in the city, laden with detergent and laundry chemicals, ends up in the Yamuna.

In 2020-21, Indian urban centres generated 72 billion litres of sewage, while the total installed sewage treatment capacity stood at 31 billion litres. Consequently, nearly two-thirds of untreated sewage discharge into rivers and eventually oceans.

The foam we see in the Yamuna River in Delhi, Bellandur Lake in Bangalore, or Dadar Beach in Mumbai is a direct result of the reckless use of conventional cleaning products, which we have been using without a second thought. As rapid urbanization and improving living standards continue to rise, this issue is expected to escalate further.

By choosing WashSalon, an eco-friendly home care brand that prioritizes non-toxic, biodegradable ingredients, you're supporting cleaner, healthier rivers and oceans. Traditional surface cleaners often contain harsh chemicals that, when washed down drains, contribute to urban wastewater filled with pollutants harmful to aquatic life. In contrast, eco-friendly formulas break down naturally without releasing toxins, ensuring that urban discharge remains as safe and non-polluting as possible. Moreover, our concentrates reduce the volume of chemical waste introduced to water systems, as they require less product for each use, cutting down the load that enters wastewater systems. Through thoughtful formulations and concentrated products, we’re working to make a tangible difference in protecting waterways, preserving biodiversity, and ensuring that our rivers and oceans remain clean and vibrant for generations to come.
