    You can use dishwashing liquid too , mix it with baking soda it will clean clothes well. Same applies just soak them in your kitchen sink and rinse then like them hang to dry in your shower or bath tub. Baking soda works great on clothes that are dirty you'll have to rinse them several times.

    Doing this really saves my ass. I'm in an apartment and quarters might as well be gold nuggets. I never seem to find them and we don't have a change maker here so I always put off laundry until I can get some change. But then something comes up and my favorite clothes are always dirty, so I can do this when I need to.

I don't have to clean up after them, and I wash my clothes whenever I want...no clean-up or coins involved. I never thought I'd be doing this, but....it works!

    @clzm90 Of course you do. Most of us use too much detergent. Which never gets completely rinsed away and as a result makes our clothes look dingy... and the excess detergent actually attracts dirt. Wash once, rinse twice... then hang to dry. ;)

  • @2JobsStillPoorUSA
    @2JobsStillPoorUSA Před 13 lety +1

    @clzm90 Well it depends on your water, how hard or soft it is, how much water you are using, etc. For me using liquid detergent, I use about 2 tablespoons per 2.5-3 gallons of water. Even in a washing machine (mine is front loaded) I use about 1/3 the recommended amount. As for Powder detergent in a top loader, I would start by mixing the dry detergent in water before adding to the wash. Experiment by gradually reducing the amount you use until you find the right amount.

Theres been a few times over the years where I've had to wash clothes this way, and I'm always happy to have found this video 7 years ago. Its a life saver. Just remember to use a good amount of pressure to agitate the dirt from your clothes, and be very thorough when rinsing your clothes. Jeans are the toughest to watch by hand for sure (at least for me) so you may want to give any pairs of jeans more attention.

    Next time she should look at her washing machine. Unless you bought the cheapest model, washers have a gentle cycle for delicate clothes. The machine fills up, agitates 2 or 3 times gently, pauses, then repeats. This goes on for 4 or 5 minutes, drains then rinses.

    Using a washer and dryer is for someone that is lazy and expects things to be done for them. If you think your clothes are getting cleaner in a washer than washing them by hand than you are wrong. I wash the clothes that I wore for the day at the end of the day, why wait til you have a load to do? If you think you have to have white socks then you are the one that is crazy, not me. And no I am not broke, I have a job and I have money. I just prefer to wash my clothes by hand. People in America are just spoiled and snobby.

      Hi there backbone, I realize this is a year later, but I HAD to respond to your comment about "lazy" Americans. I am 49 years old, raised 8 children, worked a full time job all day during the week, worked a part time job at night during the week, coming home from the 1st job just long enough to get dinner for my children, throw some clothes in the washer and hug and kiss my childdren for a few precious, needed moments. Then off I went. For 4 years, I worked days, went to school nights and worked a second job on weekends. After 4 years and with a college degree in my hand I began to work only days while my kids were in school. And when the children and I and my husband were all home together at night, believe me when I tell you....... I would MUCH RATHER spend time with , talk with and play with my children. Not stick them in front of aTV while I handwash clothes for 10 people!!!!!! I would have been there all week!!!! There were just too many to do!! NOW, with my husband deceased and only my youngest 19 year old son living here at home with me, I wash my clothes by hand!! Its faster, cleaner and cheaper!!! Now I wish I had a dishwasher!!! lol
