Independence
What could have granted me more independence than I already have?
I now own my own washing machine. It's a 16 year old twin tub Hoover model that was being thrown out by a guy at work. But apart from a little bit of rust on the bottom, it's in perfect condition, and as I proved last night it works! Only trouble is that after a vigorous spin I can't get away with not ironing my clothes any more.
Does anyone know if twin tubs accept automatic washing powder, or do I have to stick to the handwash & twin tubs stuff?
I can afford a brand new automatic washing machine, but for one load of washing a week it just seems a waste of resources.

Having done a quick google on the subject ... it seems that twin tubs need to have more foam producing type stuff compared to automatic. So it might work but you might need more. I'd think automatic liquid would be a bit better than powder as its got past the first stage and just needs to get foamy!
I'll stick with the handwash powder to be safe then.
Twin tubs don't need more foam - it is just that the users like more foam! Automatic washing powder works fine in a twin tub - just don't try it the other way around (unless you like your room filled with foam).
OK tried the twin tub with the bottle of automatic washing liquid I had in- it seemed to work.
