    Only Tracee Ellis Ross could make a video about hand washing so interesting and funny. I actually giggled. Loved this!

    I use to work for a very expensive dry cleaners called MW Cleaners. I for one can tell you all its a scam. We would charge ppl $20 for one garment and it would come back with stains. And don't fall for the whole "it got lost" when you go to retrieve your missing garment. Odds are it was stolen from somebody that works in the factory. So from somebody that has worked for a dry cleaners, all I can say is you are better off doing it yourself. It saves you money and odds are you are doing a better job.

  • @pepperrgirl
    @pepperrgirl Před 10 lety +12

    Do this when I'm in last minute need of fresh underwear the next day(I put in a week's worth to save water and cut the laundry load I was too lazy to do ..that week). I use dishwasher/laundry soap (never body!!) with 2 drops lavender in a large plastic basin of water and stomp around with clean feet. I rinse two times to get rid od any residue. If you don't have clothes pins...use plastic hangers and place on shower rod! Also I lay clothes on the coffee table/chairs.(place towel first) If I have a few hours(don't have a dryer and it's midnight/too scary to visit laundry mart), I use the microwave for 1 min...then hang. Don't use for bras(wire) and don't leave too long...burned two nice panties this way(diy crotchless/keyhole panties?) *lol*

    Great tips. I started doing handwashing because of power outage from Hurricane Irma in South Florida. I found it so relaxing. I used a empty Gain detergent bottle to agitate in the kitchen sink. No fabric softener because it can limit detergent cleaning power. I drop tea tree oil to battle the underarm funk. It works great. Thanks...loved you in that Hoodies Awards clip - "Blackfish". Do that washing clothes agitate dance again...you funny.

  • @haley806
    @haley806 Před 10 lety +1

    Hand washing is great to take care of expensive clothes but also great for cheap clothes! Things from Forever 21 and H&M will last so much longer if you hand wash. I hand wash alot of things and people think I am crazy! Glad there are others out there. I do my tights in the winter to "get the funk out." I love the salad spinner idea! I use the towel method and a drying rack. geeking out on handwashing. thank you.

    Years thank you! So many people don't know about hand washing clothes. Especially items that say dry clean only. Uh no way those items had to be cleaned some way before dry cleaners were invented. Seriously some of my friends don't even know what a wash board is lol! One of the things I'm glad my grandmother taught me.

  • @Larjo15
    @Larjo15 Před 10 lety

    Love this video... my mother taught me how to handwash my sweaters and silk blouses like this when I went away to college (in the 70s). I also used a lettuce spinner, but it was the kind with the crank on top (time change). I love how fun, yet practical your videos are. Your are like a little sister in my head... love your spirit, character, countenance, apparent values---just love YOU!!! Thanks for sharing. Please keep posting and I, for one, will keep watching.

I gotta add that technique to my hand wash regimen now. Lol thank you so much Tracee!

This is the first video of yours I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm going to have to see if you've got videos on hair. I've been exploring my curls for a few years.

    First: I love you! Second: I've been traveling through Asia for the last 6 months where washing machines are scarce and dryers non-existent. I had to adapt and wash everything (including bedsheets) by hand! I was pissed at first. All that crouching in the shower with a plastic bucket having to rinse again and again. Now I'm hooked! My clothes have never been fresher! The salad spinner idea is brilliant though, bc I was walking around with all those silly wrinkles. Thanks Tracee!!

    First time here. Was cracking up watching this video. I was agreeing with everything you said though. Esp the pre-test part! E.g. I once made the mistake of putting the cleanser Directly. On. the underarms of a blouse and it took the dye out. So instead of sweat/odor, I had strange bleach marks. Fail! What you taught me thats new to me is the essential oils for fragrance. Gonna try that next time. Love it.
