The sun is shinning, and the laundry basket is full. Guess it's time to wash the clothes.
In this house, we don't have a dryer. We either hang them out in the fresh air, or use clothes racks. Mostly the latter during these cold months of winter. Some of the lighter weight items do dry outside, but I hang most of the clothes on racks by the woodstove. They dry overnight, and I save a ton of money by not using a dryer. Friendly on the wallet, and on the environment.
While most people are using a automatic washer, we use a 1945 Maytag Wringer Washer. It is a bit more work, but in the long run, I have more control over it. I control exactly how much water I need to the drop. I control how long it runs, or I can shut it off for things to soak. It has a cast iron, porcelin tub, so there is no way for clothes to get rust stains from soaking. We have been using it now for 4 years, and I can't imagine going back to a "modern" day washer.
The blessing about my washer...I will bet my Maytag is around much longer than any Maytag on the market today.
