Washing by hands or by washing machine? How do you wash your dirty clothes?

The skin on my hands are probably a bit more sensitive than others'. After a few washes (laundry) by hand, they get scraped and wounded, and that would hurt preventing me from being able to do laundry by hand again until after they heal. So I mostly do my laundry by machine. The only things I wash by hand are the delicate items (underwear, socks, handkerchiefs, etc.), and I try to space out my schedule for washing those so the skin on my hands don't become raw. If, for some reason, I have to wash some big items by hand, I use a brush instead of scrubbing with my hands.

I have experienced the same. I've also realised that white clothes lose their whiteness and becomes little dirty white when washed by washing machine. So my mom prefer to wash white clothes by hands. I prefer washing washing machine only because after washing clothes for sometimes, you can take out the clothes and wash the collars and underarms and then put it back and then it'll be fully cleaned.

In India women wear saris and these are difficult to wash using a washing machine. I also find thick curtains difficult to put in a machine. On the other hand, I have even washed backpacks and shoes in a washing machine to try and get them clean!

We use washing machine most of the times except for those clothes requiring hand wash

Never once did by hand, and i feel bad for all those who have to. Washing machines should be available to everyone.

Our laundry is mostly done by washing machine but if it's just one or two small items like a face towel or undergarment I might hand-wash. Saves on time and cost. During my youth when washing machines were a luxury. We did our washing down by the river stream whenever I vacation in our hometown in the province.

I almost always use a washing machine. Occasionally we hand wash delicate clothes or some clothes with bad stains.

Needless to say, we use the washing machine to wash the clothes. It saves the time and it can wash the clothes very well.

I do nit agree modern leashing machines get clothes super clean all over we have not washed clothes'by hand iln=[ decades of years. wahing machines are not that exensive

I used washing machine most of the time. Exception will go to items that not suitable for the machine, like my shoes. Otherwise I won't be bother to hand wash.

I did not grow up washing clothes hence I opted to do the laundry by washing machine. I just make sure though that whatever stains needs to be dunked will be treated prior to putting them on the machine. I sometimes try to wash out stuff from my kids clothes but I end up with painful hands. So I don't wash stuff too much by hands but by washing macihine using some of little tricks here and there.

We wash them with washing machine and rinse them by hand in our house.

I do the washing machine thing too, but it's gotta be the top load version, I have heard nothing but bad reviews on the front loaders. Although, since you mention washing clothes by hand, any tips or tricks on how to get the armpit odors out of clothes?

I prefer the washing machine. We used to wash on a rub board.

Kitchen towel, aprons, hand towels and innerwear is washed by hand Tablecloth and bedsheets is given out to the laundry and the rest is washed in the washing machine.
