Plagued By Hard Water, Water Softener Recommendations?

You will have to resort to the 5 gallon bucket and a plunger to do the wash just keep plunger moving up and down fast enough to keep water from freezing. It will warm you too.

I'd need to start up a 24 hour laundry to keep the process going. I could name it 'Frozen Pants Laundry'.

Have you considered using a Jigger that is used to pull nets under the ice? Substitute the clothes basket for the net and pull it to the next hole for retrieval. The length of pull could determine the quality of the wash and rinse cycle.

That's a great idea! We could punch a hole mid-way to pour in fabric softener to soften up the hard water crunchies.

Best keep a real good eye on the washing. Moss goes Ice fishing Yuh know!

Someone mention fishing??? Still not safe here. No lifetaking risks for them bluegills! But that does look like a good way to wash the coveralls.

Great idea! Would smooth the edges of the ice so the clothes don't hang up. It'd also be a good reminder when my clothes feel tight, then reading the name on the fuel canister.........to watch what I eat. But then this cold weather makes my clothes shrink up a bit, ya, that's it.
