I buy and make my detergent. I do one load every night and all the barn clothes and sheets on the weekends when hydro is at its lowest.onesimplefarmgirl2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09116228716186464577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-87104659741340953432013-04-04T08:27:18.481-04:002013-04-04T08:27:18.481-04:00Just put out some laundry in -10C... it'll be ...Just put out some laundry in -10C... it'll be 8C by this afternoon and the clothes will smell lovely!<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-87833802611912453622013-04-04T07:56:56.916-04:002013-04-04T07:56:56.916-04:00I like to line dry most everything except towels. ...I like to line dry most everything except towels.

The towels I find if I use less detergent are not so stiff as when I used more. Was tempting to hang mine out Friday but had been too busy otherwise. Looking forward to hanging out the bedding, hopefully soon.Cindy@NorthofWiartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262513991016475701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-270035435194884632013-04-04T05:18:26.823-04:002013-04-04T05:18:26.823-04:00i also use the normal wooden pegs but keep losing ...i also use the normal wooden pegs but keep losing them in the grass, good thing they are cheap!<br />Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173048649291397174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-80312827730234233132013-04-04T05:17:47.271-04:002013-04-04T05:17:47.271-04:00i love to line dry, my dryer broke last summer and...i love to line dry, my dryer broke last summer and I haven't fixed it yet.
