If you’ve got a Brita or a Pur pitcher, congratulations—you’re already halfway there. Filtered water removes chlorine, sediment, and some heavy metals, but leaves behind tiny amounts of minerals. For tasks like watering orchids or filling a steam iron, that’s usually fine. Just don’t use it for a lab experiment or a homemade eye wash (unless you like your eyes feeling spicy).
Pro tip: If your pitcher filter is old and sad, replace it. Nothing says “I gave up” like using muddy filter water for your delicate face mist. Your skin will not thank you.
