We Love Lloyd Kahn and His Sweet Dishwashing Method
September 17, 2021
Dubbed the King of DIY dwellings, Lloyd Kahn is an author and builder, with a sensible approach to just about everything related to shelter. He was the shelter editor for Whole Earth Catalog and founded Shelter Publications, a family-owned publishing company that focuses on tiny homes, homesteading and building. Oh, AND they publish this amazing book on Stretching that we will be referencing before big days when we batch oil.
A part of what we do here at Everyday Oil is find beauty in simplicity, and joy in the most basic of Everyday routines. We found this video on Llyod's dish washing method and would love to share it with you! Please note the genius dish drying rack system (well done Lew Lewandowski!)
~ Lloyd's basic dishwashing tools ~
dish soap, he's using Seventh Generation which is widely available, we are loving this giant block of dish soap that lasts and lasts :)
dish tub (doesn't need to be fancy... however, strategist recommends this one with a removable straining plug, brilliant!)
compost bucket with lid :) (another Etsy treasure trove, can also pick up the kind with holes and a filter if you're not feeding chickens or composting daily) Compost curious and living in an apartment or don't have access to a spot with space for outdoor composting? Vermi-composting might be a good fit!
