    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

      why hand crank instead of foot pedal

      • 5 months ago
        Anonymous

        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.

      Agitation is important part of cleaning. Soap on its own doesn’t do shit except add some fragrance

    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

    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

      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

    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.

      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.

      Hang clothes out.

        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.

      Picrel will work better without bunching up your clothes. They are commonplace at the carwash for wringing towels and chamois.

    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.

      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.
