We have a solar powered washing machine and use homemade soap for laundry detergent. And I finished my homemade reclaimed lumber end table.
We got a washing machine recently which we can run on solar power. It uses very little water and extremely little power to run this washing machine.
The wash cycle only uses 120 Watts and the spin cycle uses just double that. This means that we can wash our clothes with a single solar panel and still have power going into a backup battery when the sun is shining.
We shave off some of our homemade soap into the washing machine. This gives us a very clean batch of laundry. Homemade soap somehow gets clothes cleaner than commercial laundry detergents. And there is no residue and no perfumes to deal with.
I put hinges on the lid of my reclaimed lumber end table that I built and then put a chain on the lid to stop it from opening all the way. This keeps it from falling backward and stressing the hinges.
We also showered using the soap that we had just made and we both love it. Our homemade soap is good for your skin and hair plus it does not leave any residue behind. Since it is all natural, there are no harmful side effects of using our homemade soap.
