Chet Nozick: They are saying oh the bottle is smaller and the cleansing vigour is 2x higher. Yeah proper and extra money. You pay all that cash for much less detergent. The historic stuff cleans just the equal and gives you more.
Hubert Jestes: Well if your city has recycling it should make it easy. Certain plastics, paper, cardboard, glass and soda and veggie cans are recyclable. I have a 3 piece set on my porch that I put flattened cardboard boxes and newspaper in, my glass and tins in the other 2. When one gets full, I load them in the van on my next errand run and run the to the center (about a mile from my house). I compost my veggie peelings, eggshells, coffee grounds and plain paper in the compost bin next to my garden. My laundry is next to my deck and basically I do it on an as needed basis. The dogs bedding is changed daily and washed once a week, the whites and darks as they fill a basket. I try and dry on the line strung on the deck when weather i! s nice, but have a dryer if its not. I try not to buy stuff with lots of packaging, and if I do, I reuse as much as possible. I use the boxes to fill with stuff I do not want (old clothes, a lamp I no longer need or like, an old vacuum I do not need, etc. When the box is full, it goes in the van to a local charity box about a 1/2 mile from my house on my next errand run. I reuse the styrofoam for the bottoms of my planters to keep them light, for sending off packages to family and friends, and packing up fragile items for storage. My trash can rarely is full, it usually contains one bag of garbage. I empty all the bins into one and cart it out to the trash can on trash day or if it stinks or I think it might attract bugs or the dogs attention. One way to cut back on laundry is to not wear more outfits in a day than necessary. I have one for work, and one for bed. I could wear them again, but I am particular and prefer to wash anything once worn. My bed sheets ar! e stripped weekly, bi-weekly for blankets and covers. I would! say buy less, look for products that do not contain excess packaging, break down cereal, cracker and what not boxes so they are flat, recycle if you can. I do not like stinky anything, so if your trash is getting stinky, use smaller cans and smaller bags and do it daily, reuse those plastic shop bags and trot them out to the trash can asap. Think before you bring new stuff in,...Show more
An Cardine: It depends on what you are throwing out so much in the trash such as food, if you are not going to eat food in three days then wrap it up in foil then freeze it for later. That will cut down on the trash plus if you are using paper towels to clean you hour use an old rag or t-shirt to do the cleaning which is more cost effective.Now laundry you can easily cut back on by cleaning your Whites and Lights one day then choose a day to do the colors and darks so, that way you are not over loaded on the laundry....Show more
Vita Moodie: I guess I should have mentioned, ! we don't have a washer/dryer in our apartment. We have to do our laundry at a public place and it's expensive so we try not to go too often. If I had my own unit our laundry would be done everyday lol.
