#now just to save up for an umbrella clothesline and i will be sooooo set (not planning on handwashing all my clothes thats too much time bu

[flockofdoves]

i've been struggling for the past couple years of not having an in building washing machine with permanent stains on my clothing because my sporadic sink staintreating wasn't enough sometimes and i just get sooooo many stains on my clothes (<- lifelong slob who now is officially diagnosed small mouth with big tongue as the root of my issues)

so i was looking into handwashing techniques and bought a posser aka rapid washer and some zote soap and then a couple weeks ago my grandma let me have my great grandmother's washboard and its been pretty cool i was able to get stains out of clothes that have been going through the washing machine at my weekly laundromat trip just to come out and be air dried because they still had stains, stain treated and then repeat next week for months now. first time in so so long like everything except a couple unfortunate mildew/rust/paint/bleach stains that will never come out are gone from all my clothes!!!

and quick end of day stain treating has been so much more effective now too!!!
