Washing Machine VS Hand-washing

I do laundry every other day

Oh! I see... Since you're living alone, better wash clothes daily, right? So wouldn't have to wash a tower. Hehe! That would lead to unwillingness to wash clothes especially by hand. Good luck, man :)

That is the disadvantage of having your clothes in a laundry shop. I suggest clothes with so much stain should be wash and clean by yourselves. while the remaining clothes could be done in a laundry shop.

Hi Pals, I definitely agree with you. But laziness is stronger than wanting whiter and cleaner clothes. Haha! I even sometimes complain when I did my laundry in deliver-laundromat store. I can still see stains and told them to better hand-wash it. They told me, they can't because they might rip the clothes or not use bleach because it can remove color from clothes. Thanks for the response! :)

LOL :d. Letting the machine do all the work huh

Hi Banned! Ah, that's a great idea. I usually just soak the stained ones but can't get the stain off enough, just lighting it up. But my husband, I think, does manually scrub the stain off before starting the machine, but I'm too lazy to do that (LOL). Thanks for the response! :)

Hi Belle! Hi Verna! You're both right in terms of washing clothes twice with the washing machine because you're not satisfied with the results. That's defeating the purpose of using the washing machine, right? So you're right Verna, using the pre-soak cycle is useful to target stains and make whiter clothes whiter. Verna, you brought back my childhood, too! The ladies in the town usually do it in the riverside as well. Well I think people living in the country side and with access to river still do hand washing until now. I can also remember using a paddle bat that they use with pants or bigger clothes instead of scrubbing them. Other use their feet to scrub the bigger clothes. Lots of fun when I was still young! Thanks for your responses :)

I lived in the island of Jamaica West Indies in the Caribbean and in the country as a child and the clothes were washed by hand in a wash bucket also using a scrubbing board sometimes for the heavier clothes, either at home or by the river side. This brings back memories because as kids we loved to go to the river so that we could play in the water and do some fishing at the same time. The white clothes were washed and hang in the sun on the line for the sun to bleach them out and if the clothes were washed in the river they were put on stones or on the grass or a made shift clothes line for the sun to bleach them white. The women would use something called "blue" which is a little blue bar to help the white clothes become whiter and after this process was done then the clothes were again washed rinsed and hung to dry in the sun on the line. I can tell you that they were some of the whitest clothes you could see, especially the sheets. That being said, when I came to the Unites States still being a youngster I didn't think that the the machine could wash the clothes as well as hand washing so I continued to wash my clothes by hand verses the washing machine, but like all good youngster I soon abandoned the idea of washing by hand and began using the washing machine to wash my clothes. Does washing by hand verses washing by machine gets the clothes any cleaner, well sometimes we still have to hand wash some parts of the clothes like the collar, the under arm of a shirt because the washing machine does not do a very good job, and there are detergents that are used to pre-soak the clothes, pre-soak cycle on the machine is also used before the clothes are washed in the machine to make sure that they are clean. I think that hand washing in some cases is better than washing in a washing machine, but that takes time and the machine does free us up to get other things done and it's convenient. It also depends on what you are washing also, and at the end of the hand washing there comes the ironing which I hate to do so there are some positive and negative with both methods. I say that whatever works for you use it but I'm not going back to hand washing my clothes, well maybe a few things once in a while, if I feel like it.

Hi Cy! You can also save water by taking bath and cleaning your clothes. HAHA! What you typically see in old Filipino comedy movies. Hahaha! Why not try a laundromat? Just reserve money for that expense and you're off without back pains! Good luck, may the force be with you. LOL! :)

That's bummer, right Radharani? It's like we're getting enough from the money we spent for the machine. But still it lessens hard work, so we just end up doing double jobs to make sure clothes are cleaner and free from stain. Thanks for the response! :)

Hi Jonas, hand-washing gives you the opportunity to concentrate with the results you want to achieve, right? Thanks for the response! :)

Hi Lelin! It really is such a hardwork, I can be a living example to that. LOL! Machines really made our lives easier and more convenient and comfortable. Hopefully, we wouldn't be too dependent on them. Thanks for the response! :)

Hi Conquer! That's absolutely the disadvantage of machines or being dependent to machines - laziness and unhealthy lifestyle. Some of the people that uses/depends on technology much are sometimes obese ones. Never getting the chance to have body movements but can get tasks finished (even ahead of time), which what is considered more important. We, humans, should learn how to manage our dependence and use of machines so we can still be in shape while having the tasks done on time. Thanks for the response! :)

Hahaha! Bring the laundry to laundromat and lazy would prevail! Hahaha! Thanks for the response, man :)
