Hand Wash /Machine Wash for your clothes

I hand wash my clothes every weekend. I really don't have that many, cause I wear a uniform when I go to work, so that's really not much, and when I'm at home I repeat my clothes, cause I just really sleep in them. Also another reason I hand wash my clothes is that my uniform is really not that good in quality so if I put it in the washing machine, it may come out like it's already a rag or something. LOL.

Hi shia, I used a fully automated washing machine for my family clothes. Lately my machine broke down.So I went shopping for a new fully automated one. But it was so so expensive costing more than RM 3000 This leads me to hand wash my clothes. I need to save for a new machine.

Hi Shia, I do machine wash most of the time. I just separate those cloths which may be damaged on machine wash and do the hand-wash once in a week or whenever I get time within a week. I do the machine wash everyday. I have small kids so there will be enough cloths to wash on everyday basis. It is good to hand wash the cloths for in the long run, but time is less with me for sparing hand wash, so I depend on machine wash.

I machine wash and machine dry my clothes about once a week. I rarely hand wash anything unless really necessary. I also machine wash and machine dry my bed sheets and comforters. Machine washing and drying eventually wears out your clothes as evidenced by all the lint in the lint collector in the dryer, that is parts of your clothes wearing off. Most people in North America machine wash and machine dry their clothes and bedding, with the exception that some people hang their clothes out on the line to dry.

hello shia, I was so happy yesterday afternoon when the sun was shining and it gave me the opportunity to wash my clothes by hand. and it's nice because it didn't rain at all but i am hoping they will dry tomorrow because another typhoon is coming and i hope that they just slip by and not hit my country. otherwise, the victims of two typhoons will never recover.

hi shia. i wash my clothes with my own hands. because i have no a washing machine at home. i do not want to buy one when we first moved here. because i thought that clothes can not be clean with the machine. and i did not think that washing clothes is a tiring job. and i love to wash my own clothes myself.

I use the washing machine to do all my laundry. You are correct that we really have to segregate clothes depending on colour, fabric and so many things that many times it becomes risky to wash clothes in the machine. My mom still depends on the maid to do the laundry but maids are becoming so expensive these days.

Hi shia, I use washing machine to do the daily laundry. I would be handicapped if without this essential appliance to carry out the daily chore. The machine is really great! It saves me lots of time as well as trouble doing the same tedious routine daily Yeah, I have been depending on the washing machine since I gave birth to my first kid. After dumping all the laundry into the machine, I add the appropriate amount of washing powder onto it and then push the switch. I wash the clothes every day. I usually do the laundry in the evening. That is after all the members of the family have taken their shower before dinner. While waiting for the laundry to get readied I still could enjoy watching tv program or surfing net Happy posting!

Unless I have to wash them by hand, I use a machine on a daily basis. I have one that does not have an agitator in it, and have found that it seems to be a bit easier on my clothes than those with an agitator, and, it cleans my clothes much better as well. I have a family of five to six. Five most of the time, but six when my youngest (step) son is here. We have a lot of laundry to take care of and if I had to wash it all by hand, I don't think I would get much else accomplished in my day.

No I don't handwash my clothes. I use a washing machine. I usually wash clothes twice a week. One day its the towels and sheets the second day its the colors and whites. If your washing machine has a setting for gentle cycle you can use that for the clothes that you handwash.

I think it's better to have machine wash id convenience is considered, but if you want the dirt & stains to go completely, then hand wash is better. However most of us don't find time for that & also many people are already tired of daily life routine & hence would prefer a machine wash. Happy Lotting

Hi,shia,In our region,we used to utilize the services of washer man for wash and iron and for that we pay @ $1 per 10 clothes.If there is any urgency or for costly clothes we use washing machine and give them to again to washer man to get iron.For that they will charge @$1 per 20 clothes.All these process we follow on weekly basis only.All the best and have a nice day.

I do both. Although i have a waher machine that has a "delicates" cycle I just cannot make myself use it. Especially on undergarments like bras and such. I am also very picky about having clean clothes that I wash them everyday. I cannot stand to have dirty laundry lying about so, it has become a daily ritual for me.

I used to do both. But since I have a son, now I only do machine wash. And I wash my clothes once in 2 or 3 days. I have a job also as a marketing, so I couldn't do the washing everyday.

hello shia88, wow, good for you for you do hand wash your clothes. that way you can protect them. but for us, we do the machine wash. we are five in the family. so you can just imagine then the bulk of clothes for wash. besides, we do it twice a week. this way, we can save water. we are having water problem in our place that's why. when my father-in-law was still alive, he does the washing of our clothes. and believe it or not he does it manually. he said that it's better manually than in machine. may he rest in peace.

Hi Shia. I live in an apartment, and the washing room is outside and down the walk a bit, so I don't wash every day. I use the machine for most things, but like, I wash delicate clothing and underthings or lightweight sweaters by hand and hand them on a clothes rack to dry. I've never had a maid or such to do laundry. That is rare for most middle or lower income people in the US. Karen

Dear Shia, I prefer to wash my clothes by hand. Good exercise and can 'play' with water too. In actual fact, our house washing machine spoilt for nearly a year. No budget to buy a new one, so handwash! However, I find it is good to handwash my clothes. I can recycle the water to wash the drain. The final rinse water can use to wash my car too. Economical and good for exercise! I wash my clothes every alternate day. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in teh evening. I do not wash clothes on the day when the rubbish truck came, it is so smelly and unhygienic!

hi shia, for me it really depends on the cloth, if it's soft one or like satin i rather wash them by my hands, because if i do wash them on the machine surely it will be damaged and ruined.. but if it's hard or like jeans i put them on the machine..

For me I wash clothes 3 days a week Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday.I only wash clothes now through wash hands so that I can lesser pay electric bell. But I have washing machine I use it for drying only.

Machine wash for all my clothes, cause I am too lazy to do hand wash and it's quite tiring to lay down to wash your clothes using hand and it makes my hand skin come out if my hands is put in the water for quite some time.
