Handwashing Whites...

Hmmm...hand-washing whites sounds more provocative than I had intended...therefore it SHALL remain!

It's my first time hand-washing my white clothes, and I'm a little curious about how the whole ordeal will unfold.  I mean, on one hand, I'm saving energy and seducing the environment and all that jazz.  However on the other hand, I'm probably going to have to buy some more white undershirts soon.

I washed my whites once with a half cup of detergent, wrung out the shirts and socks, dumped the old and added six gallons of new hot water, added a cup of concentrated bleach for the next phase.  Write now...Effing English.  Right now, I'm letting the clothes soak for about 15 minutes before I start washing and wringing again.

Yuengling Case

One bottle of Yuengling finished.  Nomnom!  Two bottles finished!!



Alrighty then, here's how the whole process unfolded:


The murder scene


So on your left, we see a LOVELY view of my bathroom!  Well...I suppose it's just a view of my bathtub.  Nevertheless, notice the zesty freshness!  I put about 6 gallons of hot water with a cup of bleach during this phase.














I hung up the clothes in the sun.  Hanging up wet clothes to dry is supposed to humidify the air, so I figured leaving it in the bedroom will combat the abominable wintry ashiness.














Here's a long view of it.  It's a pretty standard drying rack, although I prefer the one I had in Korea mainly because it could hold substantially more clothing in one shot.








Now for some artsy fartsy photos to get me back into the swing of things...

Here's another one that makes me feel somewhat agitated due to my laziness of not wanting to move the plant for fear of obsessive tedium:
