Laundry Day

I have chosen to avoid laundromats, although the cost is only 3 soles/kg, and have instead spent 3 soles on detergent and handwash it. It´s more or less strenuous work to someone use to the convenience of a washing machine. I´ve found it´s best to wash every 3 days or so to avoid too much. First I add a small cup of detergent to water in a bucket, let it dissolve and then throw in the laundry and allow it to soak for over a half hour. Then I scrub it a lot and rinse it as best as I can. Finally, I get to put it up on a clothesline, either one outside the laundry area or on the roof. I opted for the roof today, a better view of the town as my clothes drip dry. Today was whites.
