Whenever we see a spike in the number of clothes we have (like around the holidays or birthdays), the laundry levels increase. More than one outfit a day doesn't work if there aren't other options!

Also my husband and I sadly have very bad allergies so line drying never happens. :( But anyway, great tips!!

Not because it saves us $6,500/year (it doesn't, although it does save $0.16/load) but because it kickstarted our journey to think outside the box when it comes to products in our home. Since making our detergent, we have moved toward making more & more of our own products & are loving it, not to mention our money savings just keeps growing! One of my next big things is to install a laundry line like Steve did (which Kelly mentioned nicely). I just installed my back yard (along with my paver patio). As soon as the yard grows in, I will be putting the laundry line in. Laundry lines not only save on energy, but they make your clothes last A LOT longer too! Becoming more self-reliant is always a good thing. GO DO IT! :-) Great post Kelly. Our homemade powder, HE friendly, laundry detergent was one of the greatest projects my wife & I undertook!
