Though I use washing machine that only wash clothes yet it doesn't have the ability to soak and remove the soap after. So I need to wash the clothes manually with water but the problem is I don't have the energy and grip to wring the the clothes so I use my feet and tap it rigidly along with the water. Called it gross but it works on our clothes. I also notice that if I haven't remove fully the detergent in the clothe the fabric conditioner will not work, I use Downy passions and even without the dry of the sun the clothes smells fresh and clean.
How about you mylotters, how do you wash your clothes manually?

i like washing the clothes with out the washing machine , however one should know how easily they can wash the clothes if not they would feel it is very hard and like to have a washing machine for the clothes.
I like manual washing and it consumes less water with lot of care .It depends on each ones situations some like to have a washing machine as it suits them and their workplace .Some like to do manual washing.

You used your feet 
, its the first time I am hearing that . If I have to wash manually because something you cannot put in a machine I would used only my hands . When washing with you feet where do you put the clothes ? I used bath to was manually and I cant stand it that , I rather used washing machine.

I remember, my father used to rinse our washed clothes using his feet too. I think it's pretty much lighter than using our hands. Don't worry friend, you are not alone on it.

Hi air,
There was a time before when I have to finish all my laundry in a day. I was using the washing machine too, but those times the washing machine isn't the automatic one. I noticed my pants and clothes being damaged - so I had to manually wash the clothes some times. I can squeeze out the water from it yet I felt what you feel too. It is really hard and my hands feels so weak too. So I had to use my feet but only for my jeans. You know how rough jeans are...
