In today's video, I'm diving into a frequently asked question: how do I keep my laundry clean while living off-grid in rural Bulgaria? I’ll walk you through my current method using just a bucket, a plunger, and some good old-fashioned hand-scrubbing — no electricity or washing machine needed!
Although my water still comes from the tap, I’m working toward a 100% off-grid setup, including a rainwater catchment system in the near future. I also discuss the challenges of finding eco-friendly laundry detergents, my attempts with baking soda and vinegar, and future plans to make my own soap.
🌿 Plus, I talk about foraging, tick prevention for dogs, natural bug repellents like neem oil, and how I’m slowly discovering that my meadow is a self-sustaining paradise filled with edible herbs and wildflowers.
This video is part of my ongoing journey of learning off-grid life from scratch, and I’d love to hear your natural laundry detergent recipes or eco-cleaning hacks. Drop your thoughts in the comments — let’s build a community of shared knowledge! 🙌
