Title: Just Wondering
Post by: RosieM11 on January 10, 2015, 04:24:37 PM: Hi Everyone,
We are going on the road very soon, got our list and checking it twice, gradually packing, repacking, repositioning and then satisfied. For the questions ??? Is there any truth that wool wash requires no rinsing? Collapsible buckets, wash baskets and kettles are only good to look at and do not wear well? I have a million more queries but I am suffering from C.R.A.F.T. right now, will have to post again soon! Thanks everyone, Rosie :D

We use a collapsible tub for washing up & it works great. Not sure about the basket or kettle though.

Got my folding bucket from Aldi and its held up very well. Still going strong.
