well correct me if im wrong here ( as i dont even know how to work the washer) but wiont using soap or washing soda clean your clothes on there own?? on wartime farm ruth just grated up a bar of soap to use and it worked fine!

It goes in the washing machine

So how are people going to dry there clothes? Im going to use a metal mop bucket with the mop drying bit(technical term?) Has anyone got other options?

mangle and washing line to dry clothes

Am I allowed to post links in here? It's to a blog by an Australian housewife (she is now a minor celeb in Australia because of her blog) where herself & her husband decided to go as self sufficient as possible. It tells you everything from jam making to storing veg & also how to make your own soap, dish soap, shampoo & washing machine soap.

Also a lot of people comment on her post & some of the tips they do are just as useful.

Also if you are DIY minded, instructables has a few good guides on how to make home-made washing machines & spin dryers.

For future reference post anything that you think will aid in our preps. I only concern myself with copyright when the copyright owner contacts me, because I get into trouble trouble if I don't and infighting amongst ourselves.
