So our washing machine is out of commission, and I have procured a replacement but have not yet done the switch in moving the machines around.
So what do you do when you run out of underwear? Have a laundry lesson.
So first I picked up a bar of soap. As a busy beaver mom who loves natural, eco-friendly products... I chose Dr. Bronner's Organic Castile Bar Soap
.. almond scent.
So we took the laundry that needed done... upstairs to the bathroom. I have a large green tub from IKEA
This is what my son did his laundry in. I used the bathtub.
Next, I filled both with hot water and broke out the bar of soap.
Hand scrubbing the clothes was fun. While we did the laundry I explained how this is how they did laundry in old fashioned times. (He loves everything old-timey)
Also, I explained that when you go camping for extended periods of time, you're not going to have a washing machine around, and this is what you do if you need clean underwear or socks.
Overall, a fun and excellent learning experience.
Luckily the dryer works, so we were able to toss the rung out clothes in the dryer and continue onto our Saturday night activities.
