An old cotton sock on the grease gun barrel works wonders. Itll take in a lot of grease before it gets gooey. Then into the wood stove.

I wonder what all that stuff does to septic tank bacteria.

No matter how or where the clothes are washed, the environment is going to get polluted. That is a given.

One definitely wants to avoid 'polluting' a septic system.

With that in mind, how about diverting the output from the washing machine to somewhere other than the septic system? Simply having it drain onto the ground it better than having it drain into the septic system.

In Sydney, we obviously have 'mains' sewerage systems so there is no septic system to put at risk. Even so, when there has been insufficient rain, we have a long hose that allows us to divert the washing machine water onto the lawn.

My washing machine water drains onto my lawn. The immediate area where it drains stays dead but all around is green. But we use peroxide for bleach too. Not putting the stuff down my septic tank. Makes it go years without problems with monthly recharge of septic stuff. Stuff because I'm not sure of exactly what it is but it keeps it working. Some kind of enzymes or something.
