    Vancouver Rose reacted to TheRealPixie's post in the thread What do you wash your clothes with with Like Like.

    Vancouver Rose replied to the thread What do you wash your clothes with.
    I used Dr. Bronner's Soap - 1 bar for everything. And then celebrated when I stayed in the occasional Pension or Casa Rural that had REAL shampoo! I hadn't known about the washing "sheets" before I left, and had a I known, I'd have taken some...
