well, we do have a washing machine at home. but my mum seems not so likely to use it. only in some cold days like winter or too much clothes to wash then washing manchine gonna be her choice..
otherwise, she never use it. i asked why, she said washing machine is not good in washing expensive cloth or inside wear...
so she only using washing machine to wash some inexpensive coat or trousers...
how do u think about this?
will u wash urselves even if u have a washing machine and why?
thank you for reading
happy mylotting

I use the washing machine for everything. Some of the expensive items can be put on a gentle cycle. Or they can be hand washed. But, washing machines can be hard on clothes too. So it is better to use ones own judgment when washing clothes. A Lot of people like to hand wash expensive or delicate clothing, it is much faster than using the washing machine. It also saves on electricity as well.

I will wash my new things by hand rather then by washing machine until I am sure the water runs clear because I do not want my other clothes to turn color. And I have a good dress that I always wash by hand. Your mother is right. It is best to wash expensive clothes and underwear by hand, although with some machines who have a delicate setting, it is not necessary. However if your machine does not have a delicate or a cool or air dry setting, then it is best to wash your more expensive, new, and your delicates by hand.

Well yes I still wash some of my clothes even after washing them in washing machine. Sometimes there are dirt that can't be removed by just washing them in washing machine. But sometimes due to time the limited time I have I just wash them using washing machine only and wasn't able to wash it again through hand washing. It can really be depends of my available time. Happy mylotting friend.

It's really hard to hand wash clothes especially if you have plenty of dirty clothes to wash. But if I only have to wash a piece or two blouses, then I do hand wash them. I also hand wash my undies. :)

I have had this experience when my dust socked jeans came out of the washing machine with the dust intact... a good hand wash, and it was clean again.
..and your mom has a point when she does not use the washing machine to wash expensive clothes. Since many clothes would be washed together, color from a substandard cloth can mix with your expensive cloth and spoil it!

Yes in fact i always prefer washing my clothes manually with the use of my hand. Why i prefer hands instead of washing machine because i feel i am not satisfied with the washing machine. I feel it doesn't clean that much so i feel much comfortable with my hands because i can clean it thoroughly and besides using machine could only ruin your clothes as it will make your clothes easily fade and torn. However when i feel very tired washing that's when i use washing machine.

Hi!I always hand wash our expensive clothes and sensitive satin clothes.But when it comes to school uniforms,trousers,bed sheets,of course I have to use the washing machine.Hand-washing is time consuming so it is not advisable to do that now since there are still lots of work(chores)in store for me everyday.

Yes, I hand wash some kind of clothes. Like wool, silk, and some clothes in black. Even in winter, I still handwash those.

since some people didnt have washing machines in jamaica many of them hand wash there clothes and i think it is better to hand wash your clothes than throw it in the machine. even when my mother bought her washing machine in jamaica she still used to wash with her hands and put her clothes to dry in the nice jamaican sun.
