Clothes washing is one of my most hated house chores. I just can't refuse to do it because of my wife's health condition if she would be the one to do the laundries. I would be glad if I would be already in the rinsing process.
Sometimes, instead of usual three times rinsing, I would shortcut it to just two.
What's really the proper way of rinsing to make it sure we got good and clean result on our laundries?
Can you share your idea about this?

I am quite like you. I also hate washing clothes a lot, and I will gather a lot of clothes until I had to wash them. I think it is really tired after washing clothes. Especially when you rinse, it seems that you could never wash them clean. I usually rinse three times, and sometimes I find that do not help. But I am just too lazy to go on rinsing.

Yes. If I could just throw all my soiled clothes away and buy another new one I will do that so I could not do anymore my most hated house chores. Well, I think that would only happen if I would already rich enough to do that...he he hehe

After washing the clothes with soap,spin it before rinsing to reduce some soap from the clothes.This is one way of reducing the rinsing process,since bubbles makes the rinsing difficult.By spinning it,the bubbles and soap will be squeeze off,you can also sprinkle some water on it before spinning just to take off more soaps.I hope this can help u my friend.

From what I learned from my mother, clothes should be rinsed three times. Clothes must be rinsed properly to remove all the soap. Sometimes, if the clothes are not well rinsed, it could irritate the skin and could cause itching and rashes specially to sensitive skins.
I hope your wife gets well soon my friend.

Yes. you are a wise washer. Playing safe nothing would be better if you will put "Downy" or any fabric conditioner ...

If I am the one washing the clothes, I make sure that I rinse it thrice.

Normally i would do twice. If there is a heavy load on that day, I would do it three times. Well, it depends on the load and the size. For bedsheets I would do it 3 times.
Have a great day...

Yes you're right but for me,as long as the the water I rinse became clear on my second rinsing I think that would be enough..Thanks for responding..

We now use washing machines now in our house and rinsing is more easy with the spin tub.Earlier,when we washed clothes with hands,rinsing was two times.We can judge it enough when we can see clear water alone after rinsing,in the tub.Some hard clothes need thrice.We can learn it from experience.Cheers!

I let the washing machine do its run and when its over i throw my clothes in the dryer or hang them up to dry. So how ever many times the washing machine does a rinse is what my clothes do. No hand washing at this house at all and my washing machine has a hand wash cycle on it so its all good and i can get other things done as well like mylotting.

Oh I see. Would that still be soapy if you're going to dry it? Well, it depends on the soap you use anyway...thanks for responding..
