Washing clothes by hand, Do you still do that?

Yes Bebs, I wash almost all of my clothes by hands because of the sensitive fabric. Washing machine distorts the shape of the clothes withe soft fabric and removes the buttons too. Maong pants and house clothes are for washing machine but not those clothes I use in the church and in the office. Undies are also washed manually otherwise the garter will all loosen up easily.

i wash all of my delicates by hand. for a man, delicates usually means the more expensive t-shirts and sports attire. the expensive shirts & slacks go straight to the professional cleaners

i actually do not do the washing cause it's my wife who takes care of the laundry. but there are times that i have to help her or the kids will do, when there are lots of clothes to wash. and when we wash our clothes, we only do it by hand. i do not plan to get a machine cause it will only add up to our electric bill that is constantly getting higher, just like the fuel prices.

Yep, I still wash all my clothes by hand, they are not that many, cause I always do laundry every weekend, though sometimes, I do wish that we have a washing machine. But we live in a condo unit, and there is just really no place to put the washing machine, unless we want to take a bath beside it. LOL. Anyway, I have gotten used to it cause I've been handwashing my clothes since I started college, until now so that's almost 9 years already! OMG. hehehehe.

yes,i do. I do wash delicate fabric clothes by hands,esp with colored ones. I use to wash under wear with my hands too. Also with white clothes,before i put it on the washing machine,i wash it with hands and for the second phase,put into the washing machine for a cleaner result.

I grew up in Chile, South America. Many families do not have a washing machine, so they wash all their clothes by hand. The women amaze me as they can do it so quickly and efficiently. I have had to do it a few times (IE. when our washing machine wasn't working), and it definitely made me appreciate having a washing machine. I still wash some clothes by hand, but I don't really have to scrub them.

Hi, Bebs08. I only will wash by hand if it says on the garment instruction to. And I also will wash by hand if I need something quick to wear that I can't wash in the washing machine right then and there.

Hi, I do handwash for certain clothes,especially those made from soft materials and also my inner wears. Apart from that, all my clothes will be washed by washing machine,it is much more convenience and save my time. I just need to put all the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and it will make the works for me. I just need to hung them dry when it is DONE.

Hi there bebs! Surely yes for your question. I find myself doing laundry by hand or machine, and I do it in a weekly basis. The stuffs I wash by hand are those soft fabric stuffs which are expensive. I would never load such things in the machine because otherwise it will be defective and I would end up regretting afterwards. The other stuffs which are stronger in fabric and cheaper can go to the machine.I wouldn't bother wether it be defective as long as it gets cleaned.

well i think in my house they wash my dad's shirts by hand only. for one, he is a cleanliness freak lol :) and of course washing machine doesn't remove dirt from the collars and hand cuffs! i wash my light colour clothes with hand too so that they lok bright and clean! :)

Hello! Ah If I ask to my Mom this. She certainly weird look to me, and say wash clothes by hands? She certainly say, I do not want to remember it. My mom wash clothes very long time. We're never had much money, and my Mom always wash clothes with hands. Until, I have six years old. My mom buy washing machine with credit to 12 months. And my mom was very happy, when do it. Always when my mom wash clothes with hands it was very hard, because after washing my mother hands was red and scared. The first machine was crushed before one year, and now we have new. Nowadays my parents earn bigger money, than in the past. I know some people still wash clothes with hands, and it is sad.

Of course! I wash my undergarments by hand because they are really small items and I believe its more efficient to do it manually than using the washing machine. You know, manual won't ever go obsolete no matter how advance our technology gets.

I sometimes wash clothes by hand, particularly socks and delicate clothes.

hi, yes i still do that but very seldom only, and those clothes that i usually wash are those underwear and all my white clothes to make it sure that no stain will left,and for my other clothes and pants i usually wash them with the using of washing machines.

Only for some materials we have to use our hands as you have told.Some dresses have embroidery works and some have ornamental works.they can't put together with all other clothes in a washing machine.Only for those things we use hand washing like before.

hi bebs! oh yes! i am still doing it even if i already bought a machine. i am hand washing my husband's clothes that he uses for his work, it has a delicate fabric and washing them on the machine might ruin them... what i just wash on the machine are pants and other heavy fabric materials, as well as some clothes that we just use in the house. its really tiring o wash by hands but its better than getting bad results in our laundry. and its more satisfying...

Even if we have washing machine, we are still washing our clothes by hand. I dont know but my mom would really spend time to washed it by her hand. I also washed my undies using my hands. When it come to pants and bedsheet, we are really using our hands. That is why when it comes to laundry time I would always asked for help from someone.

well my mom do wash some clothes by hand but mostly she use our washing machine to lessen the work it is very helpful and also washing machines are easy to use

we only use washing machine when we wash our curtains and bed sheets everything else falls by hand, and i tell you its not that easy :)

I also wash by hand all the clothes of mine and my child's daily, although we have a washing machine at home, I have found that mud stains are very difficult to remove, they require a lot of scrubbing, and I also soak all the clothes for 15 ms before washing, that helps to remove the grime and dirt more easily. Although frequent washing clothes by hand does make the palms very rough. It is an additional exercise also, however it also gives me back ache at times. I also beat the clotes to the stone after soaping and scrubbing which also helps to remove the dirt well.
