Handwashing your own clothes is a useful skill to have
My second video with Going Awesome Places. Thank you Chantelle for being an awesome videographer and being patient with all my failed takes.
I wanted to talk about another topic that’s pretty trivial but useful when you don’t have the time to sit around for a laundromat or willing to pay someone else to do it. I wrote about this topic in the past but I thought it’d be helpful to see me do it in action! The truth is I had to YouTube something like this whenI needed to figure out how to do this.
I did talk about doing hand-washing in Germany if you’d like to read about it as well.
My method is almost exactly the same as yours, though (if there’s time) I like to throw in a 2nd rinse.
At first I only ever hand-washed clothes in the sink, but lately I prefer doing larger loads in the tub. It does put extra strain on your knees and back, which isn’t comfortable, but I’ll put up with it to get more laundry done in less time.
Will, my go-to trick for bathroom or kitchen sinks that have faulty or missing stoppers is duct tape. Works like a charm and you can buy mini rolls of it so it’s pretty compact. Indispensable travel item.
Brilliant tip Deb!
