Comments on: Hang your washing out! http://www.makeitandmendit.com/2009/09/23/hang-your-washing-out/ because life's too good to throw away Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:16:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Mrs. Accountability http://www.makeitandmendit.com/2009/09/23/hang-your-washing-out/#comment-533 Mrs. Accountability Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:45:01 +0000 http://www.makeitandmendit.com/?p=3928#comment-533 I lived in a mobile home park that prohibited us from hanging our clothes on a line in our own back yard. However, they did provide community clotheslines near the park's laundromat. I used to wash my clothes in my own washing machine, then lug the basket full of wet clothing about 200 feet. That is when I learned THE BEST clothes baskets are actually empty banana boxes!! The bottom stacked inside the lid made a very sturdy clothes basket and they lasted forever, whereas the plastic clothes baskets kept cracking and eventually broke. Unfortunately, now I live in a rural area that is very dusty and my asthma can't handle all the dust on my clothing when I hang my clothes out. :-( I lived in a mobile home park that prohibited us from hanging our clothes on a line in our own back yard.

Have been doing it for several years now... we even added a roofed patio to our back yard so we can do it when it's rainy. BTW, found you from the Problogger 31 day challenge, reading the elevator pitches to design mine. Yours was the closest to where I'm going... I love the stretches I get from hanging out my washing.

You can even use it to loosen tight shoes buy rubbing it inside the shoe on the heel section. I this the sort of thing Anne? http://www.naturalcollection.com/products/okt/oliva-olive-oil-soap—125g/

Stayed at environmental friendly camp site. Hand washed clothes in cold water with soap bar (100% vegetable - £1.50 for about 6 month of washing !) - Laundry has never been so clean - all manner of stains removed including blood and chilli oil.
