I love this! These are all easy things to remember and do. I'm saving this post to help on laundry day!

Great laundry tips!! I typically do most of these, except instead of line drying I lay my clothes out flat on top of my dryer... I haven't ironed in Years!! I was going to look at the soap nuts site but was put off by the breastfeeding picture... woah! lol. Anyway, keep up these lists, I am loving them.

I LOVE doing laundry too and ironing!

I never ever dry clean my clothes unless I get a stain that I can't get out myself.

Laundry is one of my favorite chores, too! And I'm so with you on the dry cleaning. I used to design environmental audits for a software company and began to realize that some state governments had very strict regulations about how dry cleaning chemicals could be disposed of. Made me realize I don't ever want my clothes treated with that stuff.

Also use white vinegar instead of fabric conditioner!

So what do you think of homeowners' associations that don't allow residents to have clotheslines? I think that's ridiculous! Although honestly I can't dry everything outside because it catches the pollen and I have bad allergies.

However, my cat loves it when I set up my pop-up clothes dryer for sweaters in the living room. She thinks it's her personal fort! (Being kind to animals counts, right?)

Will you come do my laundry. Actually, it's not the washing or the line dry - it's the folding and hang part that annoys me!

Glad to see I'm doing all right according to your list.

I totally checked the soap nuts website during class. I think the boy behind me was a little weirded out be the breast feeding mom on the website :-P

Ugh, I HATE doing laundry, so I definitely have the full load thing covered. More like many full load(s), because I've waited until the last possible second to do it!

I already (mostly) do 3-6. I will dry clean fancy dresses, but only after a few wearings and at our eco-friendly dry cleaner. (Although I've never done any research into it, so I don't know how much better it is than traditional.)

I've never heard of soap nuts before!

Regarding point #5... washing your clothes less often also equals less wear and tear. Your clothes will last longer! That's also less wasteful, right? :)

You make being eco-friendly seem SO practical! I'm intrigued by the soap nuts! And I want to see if I can't figure out a way to line dry... I hang a lot of things, but line drying would make me immensely happy - like sunshine seeping in my clothes... ha :) Thanks for sharing your tips!
