-BIOQUEST cleaning system for all the Inn’s laundry washers which incorporates biodegradable surfactants, biological enzymes and natural water softener produced from renewable resources.

-We use biodegradable products to clean all our windows, rooms, showers and toilets in our bathrooms

-Our toilet paper is made from recycled paper

-Our paper towels are made from recycled paper

-Our napkins are made from recycled paper

-Our commercial kitchen’s dishwasher uses all biodegradable products to wash and disinfect all the pots and dishes.

-Our washers are water efficient saving thousands of gallons per year

-All our toilets are dual flush saving thousand of gallons per year

-Our bathroom sinks have water saving faucets

-Our bathroom showers have water saving Spa- like shower heads

-We do not change towels unless they are on the floor helping to reduce the use of water and expensive biodegradable detergents

-95 % of the house is lighted using fluorescent light bulbs
