Solar Clothes Dryer

Recycling is important, but saving more by doing less is even better. The most energy efficient way to dry clothes is by using the electric clothes dryer less rather than tossing out the old one and buying a slightly newer more energy efficient model. It was a bit of deja voux standing out in the triple digit heat today while hanging a few clothes to dry. It used to be necessity. Now I'm using my solar clothes dryer, and I'm glad I can put all of that heat to good use.

Oddly enough, it was my daughter who got me started thinking about solar drying. I was still enjoying the fact that I didn't NEED to hang up the towels to dry. They came out very soft from the electric dryer. Then when I saw my daughter hanging cloth diapers on the clothesline, I thought she was just working too hard. Not only was she conserving on her use of paper products, she was using solar energy. I finally realized that she is inheriting the planet from us. If she can conserve while raising two small children, I could begin doing my part.

Gloves off to cleaning

I now take my gloves off to cleaning. No more smelly toxic cleaning solutions that require gloves and adequate ventilation. I can enjoy soothing Aloe and Green Tea Biodegradable Cleaning Cloths and Lavendar Scented cleaning products. Greener living is more pleasant when using natural products that are healthful and soothing.

The last time I was cleaning, I began thinking about all of the little things I have been doing to make a smaller imprint on the environment. At the same time I realized that using harsh toxic cleaning products is probably one of the worst things I could be doing for my own health and for the environment. I seem to get some of my greatest inspirations while cleaning or walking. I started thinking about how I could enhance my coaching business by having a product that promotes healthful living, but I was having trouble finding a company that had a diverse product line. Then I remembered Watkins. My grandfather actually sold Watkins Products many years ago. One of Watkins themes is "across generations." Before we called it "Green" Watkins Company was selling natural products.

So I took the leap for a mere $39.99 and became a Watkins Associate. I will share products from time to time that are helping me live a "greener" lifestyle. If you would like to use and promote Watkins Products, you can contact me at
