Getting Creative

Using the washing and drying facilities at FIE cost money and time. We're talking a total of about four pounds (about eight dollars). BOO! My flatmate Mallory came up with this genius idea to wash her clothes herself. She dumped all her clothes in the bathtub, poured a nice helping of detergent, and waded in the water/wrung her clothes together for a good half hour. The process had to be documented.

Pouring the special sauce


Detergent and pile of laundry


Mallory says, "I will have the cleanest clothes out of everybody here."


Chaos in the bathroom


Stomping the clothes, kind of like stomping grapes


Inti: "Let me show you how my people do it."


Laundry stew


Conclusion: The clothes are still drying. It's been 2 days. BUT, they smell like laundry therefore they must be clean! SUCCESS!
