It's as simple as that. Do not fall for the detergent israelite. You don't need to use detergent when bleach and vinegar will get your clothes cleaner and feeling more fresh
>use your hands to soak and scrub the clothes
Kek nobody would even get that far. Did you just throw this in there so that not even a moron could mistake your post for real advice?
Easy to produce. Foot pedal is smarter, but tends to also increase the size of the machine to account for mechanical linkages. If you have the means to produce that or modify the machine, it's a better option.
Someone made this exact same thread like 2 weeks ago. Are people really this fricking stupid that they can't figure out how to wash some clothes without a machine?
it's called a washboard
you put it in a bucket with soap and rub the clothes over it
then you hang them to air dry
real easy concept, washing machines have only been around for like three generations, and most poor 3rd world countries don't have them
why are you limited?
no money? get a job
no room? get a compact version they sell them online
no power or water? get a job and stop fricking posting on the internet
no reason? you need guidance in your life, see jesus
So the process is really simple, some kind of detergent and some agitation, but it's a bad idea to try and go full diy here. Hand washing clothes sucks. It's the kind of labor that will frick up your hands and back forever while never doing as good a job as a machine cab. Even the Amish allow electric washing machines. Drying clothes on a line is a good move if your climate is appropriate but only hand wash as a last resort.
It's not that bad as long as you are not doing it for half a dozen people >stick clothes in tub with soapy water >let stand for a day >Agitate, rinse >Soap up and agitate again >thorough rinse and wring the frick out of them
It's the first long soak that does most of the work of lifting the dirt off. Wringing is the vital part though, can shave more than a day off clothes drying
t. My washing machine shit the bed and have been handwashing for a few months
We washed our clothes in the sink in jail using regular body soap. Then hung them on cloths lines on our bunk made from stretching out the plastic bags we get our eating utensils from and tieing them from one bunk support to the other. Been a while but I think we called the plastic and utensils together a "set up". If you needed one, ask around if someone's got a set up.
Also, you'd only do this with stuff you go off commissary. Regular jail clothes would get collected once a week to get laundered. You could put commissary stuff in that sack, but it'll probably get stolen
I wash my jeans by filling my bathtub enough to fit them, adding soap, and letting them soak for a couple hours. I've handwashed clothing the same way, but you should pretreat stains first
But for true turbo poorgayness, get yourself two (2) square buckets with at least 1 lid.(pic related). You can probably get them for free from a restaurant. They have to be square for agitation.
Rinse them out, obviously. Take one bucket and drill a bunch of holes in the bottom. This is your ringer/press.
The other bucket is the washer. Put some clothes in. Fill it up 3/4ths with water. Add in a little detergent. Put lid on. Grab handle and twist it back and forth a couple hundred times. Dump out water. Take other bucket with the holes, place it in the other bucket and ring out as much water as you can. Fill the bucket up with water, don't add soap and repeat to get all the soap out. Repeat the ringer thing. Maybe do it again.
this is the best and cheapest method. i've seen people (van life lol) put a small hole in the washing bucket lid and use an appropriate agitating tool like a cheap sink plunger to work the clothing like you're churning butter.
if i was a poor frick with no other option, this is what i would do. otherwise just use your feet and a bathtub because drainage is the biggest problem. shlepping water is tedious.
get one of these. a few years ago i had a very dirty labour job, and it wasn't really practical or affordable to run a load every day just for a shirt and pants. did my laundry in the tub with one of these and a bar of laundry soap. it takes a bit of time and some elbow grease but there's something kind of satisfying about doing it the old way too. certainly makes you appreciate the convenience of a machine.
>there's something kind of satisfying about doing it the old way too. certainly makes you appreciate the convenience of a machine.
well which is it. Of course, that was a rhetorical question. NOBODY washes clothes by hand and finds it "kind of satisfying" after two pairs of blue jeans.
>i LITERALLY dont know how to put water on something
>Fill a tub with bleach and vinegar
>Put clothes in
>use your hands to soak and scrub the clothes
>pull put the clothes and hang them on the line

Doesn't that create mustard gas
no that's bleach and ammonia
Mixing any acid with bleach is a bad idea.
It creates chlorine, which is used to keep swimming pools clean, so think how clean your clothes will be!
>use your hands to soak and scrub the clothes
Kek nobody would even get that far. Did you just throw this in there so that not even a moron could mistake your post for real advice?
>bleach and vinegar
Good troll job. At least get real powdered detergent or some borax. You'll ruin your colored clothes doing this
is trolling

How you gonna make crystals without bleach and vinegar Black person
Go find a church
Find a blonde girl with blue eyes with no tattoos, above the age of 18, wearing a dress that goes past her knees
Tell her you love her after you get an ice cream together
Marry her
Get home for whatever shitty blue collar job you’ll be working and ask her to do the laundry for you
Ez pz
Also she has to be taller than average to help provide tall sons
That’s the only correct answer to op‘s question. period
if only it was that easy
>thanks anon will do
dud OP only asked for a washine machine not for a stoove and sewing machine too lol
Literally this simple. Why are you guys struggling with common stuff?
just use/buy one of those handcrank ones. They had to use them in Jo'Burg when there was a water shortage.
>kick white people out of power
>There's no water
>this is whites fault
South Africa is basically the slow collapse version of Zimbabwe.
why hand crank instead of foot pedal
Easy to produce. Foot pedal is smarter, but tends to also increase the size of the machine to account for mechanical linkages. If you have the means to produce that or modify the machine, it's a better option.
I used to just dump it all in the tub with some dish soap, walking on it a few times over the next hour, let em soak, rise soap out, hang up to dry.
Lol I did that too. Stomp stomp stomp.
Agitation is important part of cleaning. Soap on its own doesn’t do shit except add some fragrance
Someone made this exact same thread like 2 weeks ago. Are people really this fricking stupid that they can't figure out how to wash some clothes without a machine?
you must be new here and dont understand what a troll thread is... go back to your moms basement you underage douche
there's nothing in the catalog or archive. I dont live here 24/7 like you do loser
frick off
Yes
Pound 7 or 8 cheap beers and enter the laundromat at 11 pm. Prevent anyone from approaching within 6-feet by screaming racial slurs.
it's called a washboard

real easy concept, washing machines have only been around for like three generations, and most poor 3rd world countries don't have them
Please note this is a b***h to do and it takes forever. Definitely less of a chore and more of a job
why haven't they invented a pedal or donkey powered way of rubbing wet soapy clothes?
Physical labor releases endorphins.
why invest in a donkey when you already have a wife?
when wife fricking bull u can frick donkey
oh man is there anything more comfy than doing laundry outside by the stream
>then you hang them to air dry
its winter homosexual
Hang dry indoors
why are you limited?
no money? get a job
no room? get a compact version they sell them online
no power or water? get a job and stop fricking posting on the internet
no reason? you need guidance in your life, see jesus

Prison style by wearing it in the shower.

show this post to a social worker and you should be able to secure assistance
its less work to collect cans until you have enough change for the laundromat
laundromats are disgusting
Go to a coin operated laundry mat.
Fricking moron
Go to river. Beat clothes on a rock.
Panda brand washing machines. Look them up.
I wash my jeans by filling my bathtub enough to fit them, adding soap, and letting them soak for a couple hours. I've handwashed clothing the same way, but you should pretreat stains first
Thirdie here, I used to wash my clothes manually, you really don't want to do that, it's a waste of time
yeah id rather not.
Heating things up and spinning things around are literally what machines do best.
A used washing machine can often be found for under 150 USD.
If that isn't practical, pic related will do a better and faster job than just stomping clothes in the tub.
This.
But for true turbo poorgayness, get yourself two (2) square buckets with at least 1 lid.(pic related). You can probably get them for free from a restaurant. They have to be square for agitation.

Hang clothes out.

if i was a poor frick with no other option, this is what i would do. otherwise just use your feet and a bathtub because drainage is the biggest problem. shlepping water is tedious.
Picrel will work better without bunching up your clothes. They are commonplace at the carwash for wringing towels and chamois.
you have to Grape Lady them in a tub
get one of these. a few years ago i had a very dirty labour job, and it wasn't really practical or affordable to run a load every day just for a shirt and pants. did my laundry in the tub with one of these and a bar of laundry soap. it takes a bit of time and some elbow grease but there's something kind of satisfying about doing it the old way too. certainly makes you appreciate the convenience of a machine.
