It takes about 30 minutes start to finish (not all in a row since I always allow a bit of time for soaking) to get a couple of loads done with it. Moreover, I was also able to pick up Donna&#8217;s spin dryer when I was <a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/?p=13205\">visiting last weekend<\/a> (thanks!!!), so I don&#8217;t have to wring out everything. Even jeans dry in record time (about a day; it&#8217;s been damp and too warm for putting the heat on).<\/p>\n<p>I have tons of space in the apartment for placing the drying rack and hanging things. When I do towels and sheets tomorrow, I will put the drying rack on the balcony so that everything will dry in a couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p>The gift of the Wonderwash could really have gone both ways. It could have been a useless space hog, but I have really made it work for the space it takes in my shower. I think it really is a must-have tool for the frugal RVer who doesn&#8217;t want to feed quarters or loonies into laundromats. Of course, I have gone for very long stretches on the road where laundry was free, but I have also had some periods where it wasn&#8217;t. In those periods, I would say I have done my laundry by hand 75% of the time. So laundry really isn&#8217;t a major line-item in my budget.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been doing my laundry by hand with my Wonderwash since I moved into the apartment.\u00a0 I got a lot of concessions and perks when I agreed to spend the winter here, but free laundry wasn&#8217;t one of them.
