Idea # 11 - Laundry detergent jugs

The bigger, the better for re-purposing liquid laundry detergent jugs.

I often use Purex 2.95 L HE for 4 loads/week, or about 3 jugs per year.

With winter coming, I'll be stocking up on salt (or the eco-friendly replacement for salt) for my icy walkways. This stuff is sold in plastic bags and can be poured into a wide-mouthed plastic jug for spreading. I'll keep the jug near the door, or in the car, so its' ready to use when needed.

Jug #2 can be used for fertilizing & watering around the garden.
Jug #3 one can be used for scooping beach sand, also for the garden (my little secret for better soil).

There's a long-term problem because I may not need to replenish jugs in future. Alternatives are to find a re-fill centre for liquid laundry soap, or a 132-load jug that can be re-purposed in another way. This is why bigger is better!

Another trick is to use less soap than what the packaging suggests. Some things, like towels, just need a hot soapy rinse for hygienic purposes.
