This is a great collection of useful threads about doing laundry in hard times...These threads include a variety of laundry recipes (from scratch, and not-from-scratch)...to line-drying techniques...to really old fashioned laundry tips...and much more!

I've included the dates that these threads started because there's so many threads with similar titles which makes it hard to keep track of.

(If you are new to the internet, clicking onto the individual thread titles will take you there. Click onto your browser's < 'go-back' button to return to this page.)

3 stars for this and don't forget...since you are using only 'green' type soap, recycle your wash water and water the veggies with it. The soap drives away pests and does not hurt the plants one bit! Good idea for the dry season.
