Anyone hand wash clothing?
I'm thinking about hand washing our clothes I've seen lots of different methods and gadgets and I was wondering if anyone has personal experience. What is your routine. Do you like it or hate it?

Re: Anyone hand wash clothing?
A few so far. Wonder wash (turn crank pressure thing) bucket and plunger, bucket and plastic breathing plunger, scrubba (cool but $$$) giradora (awesome but not for sale yet) five gallon buckets in the trunk of the car. Last night we tried shaking a 1 gallon bucket. It worked a few homemade agitator type things and one really expensive one. Leg and I think?

Re: Anyone hand wash clothing?
I washed clothes in the bathtub when I was in Russia on a missions trip. I was REALLY glad to get home and use a washing machine!
I'm pretty sure my Grandparents had a laundry business back in the 30's and 40's where they washed with mechanical washing machines. I could ask my mom.

Re: Anyone hand wash clothing?
I hand washed for a few months. I just agitated and scrubbed by hand in a large tub...it worked for us, and things were clean. I found it kind of soothing.

Re: Anyone hand wash clothing?
We have a Wonder Wash, but I have never used it.
We bought it for camping, but then have not been on any trips long enough to need it.

Re: Anyone hand wash clothing?
Ive done it before. I hand washed diapers and many of our clothes back when we didn't have a washer dryer and couldn't afford multiple laundry mat runs. We had a wonderwash but it didn't really fit much I found I could get more done just using a tub and plunger.. It was doable but it took a TON of work and I was soooooo thankful when we got a washer again. It be okay doing it for a short season if I HAD to but no way would I make it an all the time thing.

Re: Anyone hand wash clothing?
I have before, but I used an old fashioned scrub board and hand agitated in the tub or sink.
When my washing machine came I was praising G-d. |
