Tip 14: Hang your washing in the sun Save on electricity bills and think of the environment by installing a clothesline outside your laundry. Sunlight helps to kill dustmites and keeps your clothes and sheets smelling fresh. Enjoy being outdoors and breathing in the fresh air. This clothesline in the courtyard of a contemporary home in Melbourne, designed by landscape architects Verdigris, blends in with the materials used in the courtyard and connects with the environment.Browse more large laundry spaces on Houzz
Tip 3: Install a butler’s sink This award-winning laundry in Melbourne’s Doncaster features a traditional butler’s sink and tapware to create that farmhouse feeling in the city. A large sink that is easy to access and use is essential for washing dirty soccer boots, filling buckets and rinsing and soaking clothing. Why not have a sink that looks good too?
Make your own daily shower sprayBeverly Leestma, DIY expert and author of The Make Your Own Zone, offers these directions for a chemical-free shower spray that saves both money and the environment. Mix together a half-cup of hydrogen peroxide, a half-cup of rubbing alcohol (a natural degreaser), 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap and 1 tablespoon dishwasher rinse aid in a 1-litre spray bottle. Next, fill the bottle with water and, after capping, rock the bottle gently back and forth to combine the ingredients without making them foam up. Store away from sunlight.
