13 ways to save on laundry cost
http://www.homemakerbarbi.com/13-ways-to-save-on-laundry-costs/
Ok I line dry in my bathroom.. Its not really pretty but it has cut about 20 dollars off are CONTANTLY RISING electric bill.. 3 years ago when we moved in are bill on average was 80.. Now its 100 with no heater .. No ac.. Sigh so I have been on the hunt for how to cut it down!
I got some twine from the store and hooked it up between the dryer and the cupboard. I was able to put up two lines this way. Ill have to post a pic when my charger gets here ( I have no idea were it went ! I had to get a new one! )
Also I realized I was using to much laundry detergent. I was filling the cap ALLLL the way up! When I should have been only filling it to the first line. Once I did that the bottle last as long is its suppose to and the close are still very clean….. I have not tried diluting the detergent though… I may have to experiment with this idea.
spend some time exploring her site its great
god bless!

Thank you so much for the great link love! I’m always glad when my site is helpful to people in cutting down their household expenses. Great job on line drying in the bathroom; many people don’t think of it as an alternative, but I remember it from my mom drying clothes that way when I was young. It really can cut costs significantly.
Regarding the laundry detergent: I was doing the SAME thing! I feel dreadful when I think about how much detergent was wasted over all those years…
