Hi Christie, it’s definitely a chore doing laundry and extra challenging living in a van. I use a laundry mat and I’m a bit of a germaphobe too. I don’t wipe out the machine but I do stick my head in and smell the machine to make sure it doesn’t smell musty or stinky. I use natural washing detergents with eucalyptus oils too. Love seeing how you do everyday chores and life living in your van.

Thanks so much for sharing, I love hearing how other vaners live too! And yes some chores are just unavoidable no matter how much we simplify 😅

Great video Christie - I use my deep sink to wash t shirts but the laundry matt for big ticket items like bedding. I was a member of the Tugun SLSC for many decades and miss the friendly locals.

Why is watching someone else do laundry and make a bed so relaxing and makes me so happy lol I am going to try the Eucalypt oil in my washing - the kids school uniforms are light coloured but so stains might need the old OMO aha!
@eucalyptdesignsАй бұрын
Haha maybe its the thought of someone else doing it for you 😅 Yes sometimes OMO is definately required 😁 Thank you for watching!

Great video! Do you use straight eucalyptus oil? Warm wash? I'm intrigued!
@eucalyptdesignsАй бұрын
Thanks so much 🙏 Sometimes it is just straight eucalyptus oil, other times I use a eucalyptus oil washing solution. And only ever a cold wash 😉

Please enlighten me on eucalyptus laundry.....? ❤✌️ Safe travels!
@eucalyptdesigns26 күн бұрын
I use it because I try not to use chemicals where possible, it's not great for the environment or on my skin all day. Eucalyptus oil kills most germs and that is all that worries me ☺ Thanks so much! 🙏🤗

Gee it’s not cheap to get your washing done these days. Was the dryer also $10 ? I wonder if you could use your rice cooker to do a small load and press them dry with the Foreman Grill?

mate is it Acrobat Pro I need? Andre
@eucalyptdesignsАй бұрын
Hey Andre, yeah it's Adobe Premier Pro that is quite commonly used, it can be expensive though, I'd suggest seeing if there is something similar out there that is free to start with or just see if you can trial it before buying it. Hope this helps! 🙂

@eucalyptdesigns cheers. I got my money back, spent hours setting up acrobat like a moron. I'm discombobulated Christy, discombobulated I tell you. I'm buying the PREMIERE now and get this show back on track. Andre

Hello Charming soul , pity we couldn’t speed up in life the boring and tedious processes like on the video and obviously slow motion the enjoyable things , you dig the hippy clothes at the moment, fraudulent slip or always room for humour, I think the song that comes to mined with this video = If You’re Going To San Francisco = Scott McKenzie , sleep nice in your clean bed .

Oh so true, wouldn't that be amazing! 😅 you have just provided some nostalgia with that song choice, I'm going to listen to that when I hit the road next ☺ Thank you for watching!
