Use your foot or hands to agitate the water occasionally.
You may wish to rub pieces of clothing against themselves.
Make a
pile of powered soap on the floor.
Use a sock or underwear for a brush
Dip the sock into the powders soap and scrub the clothing, taking
special care with problem areas.

to do the other side

the bucket three times.
WRINGING CLOTHES
Take all the clothes out of the bucket and put in sink or location
where they can drain.
Hand Twist clothing
Place foot on end of pieces of clothing to get a better leverage
Wrap in
sheet from the bed and twist until water is soaked into the sheet.
CLOTHESLINE

room.

to remain.
Use clothespins if possible
Hang on clothesline with the most amount of clothing surface
showing.
Reverse from top to bottom occasionally.
Flip over occasionally
Pull the pockets out of clothing if possible and expose to air.
Clothes need to dry within 24 hours or you should not start to wash,
a good wringing and normally make this happen.
Wring out the bottoms of articles of clothing as they water leeches
to bottom.

should be able to see the washing machines and dryers
If it is raining, you must see a dryer or expect your clothes to
come back wet.

clothes.

unless you know the cleaners.
