If you want to be kinder to the environment, you may consider washing your clothes by hand every once in a while.
However, not using the washing machine for washing clothes could be time consuming and hard, so there are other alternatives, such as the hand laundry machine. These machines provide the same effect like the electric washing machines but use less water and no electricity. With minimal physical effort, you can reduce the chores on laundry day and save some money, too! On top of that, the hand laundry machines are way less expensive than the electric ones.
Jawad Ahmed, a laundry merchant at The Home Depot explains that “Using a portable washing machine doesn’t have to mean compromising.” Speaking to The Spruse, he added that “With just a smaller load capacity, a compact washer can penetrate deep into fabrics to eliminate dirt and odors, saving you water and energy with the same outstanding cleaning performance as a regular-sized washer.”
What’s great about these machines is that they are portable and smaller in size so you can place them anywhere you want when you don’t use them.

A neighbor’s amusing response to criticism of their Halloween decorations has gone viral!
This Halloween season, Salena Webb, a mother of four from South Carolina, has shown us that kindness can shine even in the spookiest of times. A devoted Halloween fan, Salena transformed her yard into a graveyard scene filled with ghosts, pumpkins, and skeletons. However, when her neighbor approached her with a heartfelt request, she chose compassion over decor.
Her neighbor explained that his elderly father, recently diagnosed with lung cancer, found the decorations a bit too frightening, particularly the casket. Understanding the emotional weight of the situation, Salena agreed to remove it. She noted, “I didn’t want to be a reminder of what could happen if he doesn’t beat cancer.”
Salena not only took down the casket but also repurposed the skeletons with badminton rackets and moved the scarier elements to her backyard. Reflecting on her decision, she remarked, “Kindness is free, and compassion goes a long way.”
Her TikTok video showcasing this moment resonated with many, with viewers praising her for her empathy. Comments like, “Now this is what being a good neighbor is all about,” highlighted the positive impact of her gesture.
