Laundry Day.

Happy Monday everyone.

My morning started by having to make Laundry Liquid before

I could start the washing, so I thought I would share the recipe with you.

10 Litres water

1 cup lux soap flakes

1/2 cup WASHING soda

1/2 cup bi-carb.

Heat 2 litres of water on stove with soap flakes, until dissolved, then add washing soda

mix  until mixture thickens then add bicarb.

I then pour the  hot soap  liquid into my plastic tub and SLOWLY add

water to make up to 10 litres. I use my stick blender to continually mix while adding water

other wise the mixture can go lumpy. I also like to add a fragrant oil at this time. Today I used peppermint.

One liquid is thoroughly mixed I pour it into my empty vinegar bottles. How easy is that, 5 mins that all it takes to make 10 litres of laundry liquid, quicker than running down to shops.

Tip- Leave a gape in each bottle so you can shake the mixture as it sometimes gets thick.

My laundry is a small room but it works for me, one side is the washing machine,

and the other is a bench that I fold the clothes on into piles for everyone. Above

the bench is my vases as I also bring my cut flowers from the garden here. The basket on the 

washing machine has my gardening gloves  in it.

I love my clothes line, I went from a hills hoist to this about 6 years ago now,

a great old guy built the deck and line for me. What I love most is it doesn't swing around in the wind.

Do you line dry your clothes? I love the smell of sunshine on my clothes.

I know a lot of countries only use a clothes dryer and have no line.

My laundry isn't big enough to iron in so i do that here in the 

family room next to the laundry.

So the washing is done and not yet dry so I'm off to do some gardening.

We have a student free day in in QLD today so I am going to put 

my boys to work helping me in the garden,

 They don't know that yet and I still have to get Robbie out of bed but that's the plan. :)

Have a great Monday what ever you are doing today.
