How much water does an average washing machine hold? I'm going to put a washing machine in the basement. I will use a sump pump to put the water into the main. However, I need to select a bucket of such size that the water can go in there and be pumped out, instead of over-flowing. Basically, how much water typically drains out of the washing machine from a load of laundry? Thanks, everyone. ... (Asked by wood_vulture)

It softens any stuck on food and helps to remove the food particles. It is also the best to soak dishes in - again, the temperature softens any stuck on food for easy removal. It is also good for disinfecting purposes. I don't feel like dishes are as clean when washed through cold watrer. Hence, dishwashers use hot water and some of the new ones have a disinfecting cycle where the water is really, really hot. I toss my kitchen sponge in there and my cat's dishes to make sure they are sterile, everytime I run the dishwasher....(Answered by ~ Jamie ~)

What is the best way to collect and treat "grey" water from the washing machine? I'm concerned at the amount of water our washing machine uses in a standard cycle and would like to set up a semi-permanent system to collect the waste water to use on the garden, rather than letting it all go down the drain. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/experience in dealing with this? I would prefer a system that will cost little or nothing, and I'm a bit over collecting the water from the outlet hose in a watering can! ... (Asked by Duchess of New Town)

A.
my source is "from experience". Never use bleach or you'll kill the plant. Weak detergents like joy (a tad of it only) in a LOT of water can give bugs diarrhea so they leave. Insecticide made specifically for house plants can be sprayed "lightly" on the underside of leaves and on the stalk only when you see bugs on them, and be sure to spray that when your plant is outdoors or you'll asphixiate yourelf. Don't use the insecticide if you have pets or children around as they might play with the leaves or eat them. ...(Answered by sophieb)
