Wonder Wash - So Easy a Kid Can Do It!

I have wanted a Wonder Wash for years!!!

In our previous home, we had a front loader washer and dryer (eeek!).  To stay green, I barely used the dryer and used my drying rack for most of our clothes.  No way did I want to pay that Hydro Man once more red cent!

So, as mentioned in my last post, we downsized to an apartment.  For all of you apartment dwellers out there, how do you feel about washing your clothes in a machine that has been used by many tenants in your building?  We live in a building that is predominantly of a senior population and I got tired of pulling my dark clothes out of the washing machine only to find them covered in remnants of facial tissue.  After that, my mind went into a whirlwind thinking about bacteria, bedbugs, dead skin flakes....you can imagine.  I am a nurse by trade of of course I am going to imagine the worst case scenario.

Oh, and I neglected to mention that it costs $2.00 for a load in the washer and another $2.00 in the dryer.  Most of our clothes are hung to dry anyway, so I would lug a wet load up the stairs to the third floor where we live...(and then deal with the "facial tissue lint" when I got upstairs).  Too much work and not enough in return.

So, I went on Amazon.ca and bought this amazing Wonder Wash machine by Laundry Alternative Inc. (www.laundry-alternative.com).  It cost me $69.00 (give or take) and free shipping.  It came the very next day.

 I have literally not done any laundry in our "apartment laundry facilities" since I received this great addition to our family two weeks ago.  I no longer have to try and find the right change for the machines,no lugging or hauling clothes or dealing with laundry lint.

This machine is super easy.  My 9 year-old daughter can now easily assist with our laundry chores simply with the turn of a handle.  I help out with the rinsing and wringing out the clothing (Mommy duty).

This Wonder Wash baby holds 5 pounds of clothing (basically half a load in a regular machine) and does it all in one shot.  If you don't want to wring out your clothes, you can purchase the Mini Countertop Spin Dryer (requires an electrical source).  I actually enjoy the physical exercise from wringing out the clothes - but maybe because I am rebellious against using Hydro!

I now do our laundry every two days.  It takes about 10 minutes maximum of my time which includes the beginning of the wash-to-wringing-to-hanging.  It takes me longer to consume a cup of coffee these days.

I highly recommend Wonder Wash to those who do not have access to laundry facilities within their home -  those who want to limit their imprint on the earth and those (of us) who want to feel independent and empowered without having to rely on external resources.

When the power goes out, everyone is coming to our home to wash their laundry in our Wonder Wash!  You can bet on it!
