We have no sink in our laundry room which means I have to hand wash clothes in the bathroom. I'm always dragging the giant laundry detergent container into the bathroom. Anyone else do this? I know there are worse inconveniences but it just seems silly to do this all the time. So, I converted one of my empty spice jars into a laundry detergent shaker. Now when I need to hand wash something, it's right there waiting for me to use. I just sprinkle a little detergent in the water and start washing. Problem solved with a little craftiness.
1. Clean out spice jar. Remove label with soap and water.2. Choose a coordinating paper that matches lid. Cut paper to fit jar. Glue on. Let dry
3. Add a self-adhesive white mailing label. Done.
Get shaking!

This is an excellent idea. It is very useful to put quantities into smaller vessels for ease of use (sometimes a large vessel is difficult to pour), so I really like this and it's official on my list!

Very good idea!
Poifect!
i have a small jar from marmelade that i use!great idea!
Good idea! Why didn't I think of it!
you are such a crafty, upcycle, thrifty and clever housewife.
We have no laundry room (teeny weeny little victorian terraced house), but I still want to decant the big container into little cute ones! I'm sure I can find a purpose for decanting...
I use a jar and a tablespoon. :)
dI use a small dot of shampoo or body wash. Shampoo is great for working on oily stains.
Good idea. I have a shaker at the edge of my kitchen sink with baking soda in it. It's useful for all kinds of things, especially getting stains out of tea cups.
Anonymous,
Thanks for sharing the tip of using shampoo. I've never thought of trying it on clothing before.
