Our washing machine stopped working unexpectedly: it was old and although you can replace bearings, apparently easily, I wasn’t at that stage of environmental development and started looking online: John Lewis, Homesource4U, Gumtree. I wanted a Miele washing machine because they’re reliable and efficient but didn’t want to spend a lot of money.
Luckily I found Paul and team on gumtree who brought me a reconditioned Miele washing machine, fitted it, took the old machine away for £185. The machine works well, I’ve combined it with using organic soapnuts:
Above: Soapnuts £12.99 for 480 washes
and feel pretty pleased. It works, the clothes and linen wash beautifully and even if it only lasts a couple of years that’s good!
