Laundry Alternatives

Laundry Alternatives are an important part of emergency prepping. When power is out, or you’re forced to evacuate, you can’t always use a washing machine. You’ll need to get creative and find ways to do laundry without electricity. There are many alternatives, including hand washing, solar heating, and using a plunger. Hand washing is the most basic form of laundry alternative, and requires a mild detergent, a bucket, and a washboard. Solar heating involves using a black plastic bag to absorb the sun’s energy and heat up water. A plunger can help you agitate clothes in soapy water to loosen dirt and stains. With these alternatives, you can make sure your clothes stay clean and fresh in any situation.
