Nataly 38 #1 January 9, 2010 Just did 2 loads of laundry by hand - it took longer than putting them in the washing machine, my hands have blisters and my back is killing me.. When I find a new place it will DEFINITELY have a washing machine or at least be a hell of a lot closer to the laundromat..

skybill 22 #10 January 9, 2010 Hi Nat, Eons ago or so it seems, when I was a kid, my Grandma had an old wash tub up on bricks behind the garage that she "washed" clothes in. She'd fill it about half full of water with the garden hose, throw in the clothes, build a fire under it and add some "Red Dog Lye" along with the octagon soap!! My dad carved her a ladel out of an old pine board to stir the clothes. The grain was all feathered from the lye eating away at it!! She washed mainly "heavy" things in it like overalls, work clothes and old bed sheets made out of grain sacks!! Polyester has no place here!! Fast forward a few years to when I was in boot camp in the Navy. A bucket of water, a capful of soap and a scrub brush on these concrete wash tables!! Then later out at sea, just tie all your clothes to a piece of line and drag them over the side in the ocean for a while!! Are we having fun yet??SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could always just put it in the bathtub fill it up to the point that the clothing is just covered with warm water.. put in the laundry detergent.... put on a pair of shorts and a tank.... and do a workout of running in place for 30 mintues on the clothing... drain the dirty water(put the clothing to one side of the tub so when you are stomping on it the dirty water can drain and fill it up deeper this time with fresh water and repeat for another 30 minutes... drain.. and refill the water and repeat for a ten minute cool down.. get good sturdy hangers and hang the clothing up over the bathtub( get one of the spring loaded shower curtains to place over the middle of the bathtub). benefits.. a good workout.. and clean clothing.
