Preparedness Quick Tip: Cheap and Easy Wash Water Storage

Here’s a super quick tip for those of you who use liquid laundry detergent.  Did you know those jugs, once they’re empty, are great for storing wash water in?  You can rinse them out a couple of times (usually I do that into my last load of laundry from that jug anyway) or just fill them up and let the bubbles settle and you’ve got a jug of water that’s great for using to wash clothes, floors, etc.  It already has some soap in it!  Just remember to label your jug after filling it with water.  Water stored in a detergent jug is NOT drinking water!  Happy easy wash water storage!
