Tough Polyester Clothes Line

Hanging out clothes to dry in the wind is one of my favorite chores at the homestead.  I love the smell and feel of laundry fresh off the line.  

When picking a clothesline, make sure you choose one that will work with the hardware you are using to hang it.  You also want to check whether the line will stretch or not.  I would suggest to not buy a line with stretch as the weight of wet clothes will typically pull your line to its limits.

This is a good line for regular use.

This is a smaller line that is good for temporary use or light use.

Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar Soap

One of the laundry bar soaps we use at the homestead is Fels-Naptha.  We grate the soap (just like grating cheese) and use the small flakes in our wringer washer.  Once grated, the soap melts gently into the water and does a wonderful job cleaning clothes.  We find using laundry bars to be very economical. 

Information about the product:    Heavy-duty laundry bar soap ideal for pretreating stains. Recommended for greasy and oily stains. Application: Laundry Detergent; Applicable Material: Fabric; Dirt Types: Food Stains; Grass Stains; Grease; Oil-Based Soil; Organic Matter; Water-Based Soil.
