Скачать или смотреть HAND washing laundry OFF-GRID in a LARGE FAMILY.....YIKES!

We've washed things by hand here and there, but this was really our first time to wash this much laundry at once. This is several days' worth of laundry from our family of EIGHT! The kids LOVE helping with this chore (for now), but I had to finish up the 2nd half by myself to hurry things along.

We'll do a better job as we have more practice, but they turned out pretty good, I thought! I like the mobile washer (plunger thingy) but haven't used it enough yet to decide HOW MUCH I like it. We have a washboard too, so I'll have to compare. I do LOVE LOVE LOVE the wringer and definitely plan on using that regularly! Right now, since we are not living off-grid YET and still have a washing machine, we are using it until it dies (it's already had problems), but we haven't had a dryer in over a year now.

So if anyone has any tips for hand washing or line drying, I'd love to hear them! I've made our own detergent before and will probably go back to that soon, and when we're actually living off-grid, we'll have a permanent place set up for laundry that will be easier to wash and rinse. Can't wait!!!
