I was at my bank’s customer service and while we were waiting another person talked about washing clothes and not having the time to haul them to the Laundromat. So here is my personal Thrifty Living way or doing those things and saving time and money.
Manual Washing Machine.
A thrifty way to save money, time and gas if you don’t have a washing machine in-house is to find/buy a 5-7 gallon plastic bucket. Clean out really well!!!
It’s really good for like your underwear etc.
You can get a 5 gallon bucket from a Paint contractor (make sure you get one that held Latex/water-based paint.) or from the paint store. You may get them for free if you ask nicely or sent in your 97 year old grandmother for it, Lol Clean out bucket really well or try to get a never used bucket. Also having three or four of them can save more time, if used at the same time.
Washing Instructions:
1. Just place it under the faucet in the bathtub and run cold or hot water add laundry soap (preferably the liquid kind) and let soak till you get home after work of overnight.
2. When you’re ready to rinse. Before you dump soapy solution use feet or hands (PLEASE BE CAREFUL) I usually sit on commode and use hand since I am handicap. Push your hand up and down to agitate clothes fro a minute or two and then dump entire contents into bathtub. (If you haven’t cleaned bathtub in a while its good prudent to do so before you wash clothes.
3. Rinse inside bucket then fill bucket with clean water till overflowing then but clothes in and agitate them again, dump clothes out and wring them and rinse bucket and refill bucket aging with clean water again and then agitate clothes and again and repeat #3 again for two to three more times. More if needed due to dirtiness of clothes.
It’s good to have a line or bar in the middle of the bathtub so you can let the clothes drip while repeating #3
4. Take clothes outside to dry or you may hang them inside in a will not destroy the floor by dripping clothes “area”.
5. Iron as needed.
6. Walla you saved money on not using electricity for washing, drying, and driving to the Laundromat etc. and the time you saved as well.
Wow you are Thrifty!!!!
I hope you all a Thrifty life that Yeshua/Jesus promised in John 10:10 if you have any questions or comments you and email me at wmsblog”AT”yahoo.com
