Hi there. I love your website and have shared it
with LOTS of people in Roseburg, OR and anywhere
else I might meet someone that could benefit from
your advice and expertise. THANK YOU
I just wanted to share that my family and I (husband and
4 children plus one more on weekends) live in a
small apartment with no washing machine or dryer.
They do have a small room with laundry facilities
on site but we can’t afford it for the amount of
laundry we do!
I have an arangement with a good
friend of ours to clean her house in return for
using her washer/dryer. This works out very well
for us. I wash in the morning and clean up her
house which takes about 30 minutes to an hour
(each day during the week but not weekends) and
then swing back by later in the day and dry the
clothes then pick up the kids from school.
This arangement not only saves me TONS of money but it
also saves my friend money and time not having to
spend so much time cleaning. I admit I do not to
a perfect job cleaning her whole house. I merely
sweep and mop 1-2 days a week, load or unload her
dishwasher and wipe everything down.
I also take the time to fold any laundry she has in the dryer
or sitting around and do her laundry also (if she
has any). I wish that more people could pull
together to share resources in this way…







i LOVE this tip…and would love to have someone help me clean for use of my laundry facilities…
a GREAT tip….both are getting much value from the arrangement
This is a great idea! My daughter used to live in an apartment, and I could not believe how much it cost to use the laundry facilities there.
We share extra food with some of our neighbors. Yesterday, we volunteer at a church event and there was extra donated clothes. So we brought home for the children.
I agree that we can all help each other.
