Washing clothes

[sadie14]

The laundry depends on your finances and your locations. Many areas have drop off service. Some areas only have drop off services. Sometimes its easier to pile up a ton of laundry and spend 3-4 hours doing it 1x month or whatever long period you can manage.

In the Bahamas, we did it ourselves at laundromat and as drop off, it cost anywhere from 4-6 dollars per load to wash and the same to dry. You can spend $8 on 1 load of laundry.

When we had water, we washed our undies, shorts, tshirts, and other small items on deck in buckets. We saved big towels and sheets for shoreside services.

The ammonia wash sounds interesting. I don''t know much about ammonia, though, and its not something I normally would carry.
