Emergency Portable Washer

Bucket or Portable Washer

You will need:

1 6 Gallon Bucket

1 Gamma Lid

Laundry Supplies:

Clothespins

Clothes Line

Laundry Soap

Stain Stick

Dryer Sheets

2 Gallon Sized Ziploc Bags

If you're wondering why I included Dryer Sheets & Ziploc Bags,

especially since the only time we would be using our

Bucket Washer would be if the power were to go out 

or for camping . . .

It's for clothes that just need a little freshening.

Nothing's worse than a bad case of the "Stinkies!"

Place 1-2 dryer sheets into the Ziploc bag along with the clothes

that need refreshing and seal the bag over night. 

They'll be fresh and ready by morning!

Plunger

Bleach

Drill with a 1 1/2" Bit

Instructions:

Drill a 1 1/2" hole into the center of the gamma lid.

(We put a board underneath while we drilled to give more support.)

Just make sure that the plunger handle fits into the hole.

You can drill a larger hole if you need to.

Attach the lid to the bucket and place the contents inside.

That's It . . . You're ready to do the laundry!

Wah-Lah . . . It's not the top of the line

Front Load Washer, but in an Emergency it will surely be

a Wonderful Thing to have!
