my #laundry set up 👙 this is how I wash my delicates and underwear #byhand and I always hang 99% of my things. it’s not always pretty #zerowasteIRL #zerowastelaundry . I use one (sometimes two bins) and wash with #drbronners #castillesoap (I don’t measure out how much) and sometimes baking soda for whites (haven’t tried color yet or know if it is alright to use). let the clothes soak in the water with castille soap for ten minutes, ➰swirl and swish it around, then let it sit for another ten, ring them out gently (I don’t twist), empty the tub, fill with new water, soak in new water, ring out gently, then hang it up . *tips* 1. ♻️for the next load, I will #reuse the rinse water for my cleaning, soapy water to reduce how much I use. 2. I hang heavy things by halfing them and hang on the bottom part of the hanger so it doesn’t drag and pull the material . I learned everything I know in the #Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 where I washed my clothes, towels, sheets, everything by hand. my host families were so gracious and patient teaching me. I really learned how to be conscious about my water and food waste there and continued this process and lifestyle of reducing my waste while traveling, working abroad, and living here in the US! . I know people also wash clothes in the sink when traveling too. anything can work! #zerowastetravel #ecotravel #sinklaundry #tublaundry . . . #laundrybyhand #zerowastelifestyle #zerowastehome #lesswaste #wasteless (at South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHVHMdBMRM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cl8pkk3ic0ei
