They end up tossed onto the chair or trunk and it all gets so messy.teekaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600855230034505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652834985543565257.post-44604112489362993732011-01-27T07:51:11.049-06:002011-01-27T07:51:11.049-06:00We do the same here, first of all because to wear ...We do the same here, first of all because to wear an entirely clean set of clothes for each day is wasteful and silly and secondly we just don't have enough work related clothes to make it an entire week. You see I'm a stickler about doing laundry once a week, on Monday*wink*<br /><br />Another thing we do is use bath towels more than once. I mean really you've bathed and are clean right, so the towel is only collecting water, so why not air dry on a rack and reuse it again? <br /><br />Some observations I've noticed in doing laundry this way( washing once a week and drying on the line outdoors, or on drying racks inside, are that clothes seem to last longer. You know when using a dryer, all of the lint in the lint screen, well..... that is pieces of your clothing, broken down by repeated washing and drying in machines. Our towels last 4 times longer when we reuse them before washing and hang to dry, rather than use a machine to dry them.<br /><br />So the savings continues :o)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KelleKelle at The Never Done Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089557752054842197noreply@blogger.com
