Hand washing laundry
Does anyone ever hand wash or tub wash their laundry? Not just the delicates but regular cotton clothes.
I just did a weeks worth of my work clothes in the tub with some Dr. Bronner's and baking soda and I think they turned out pretty clean. I couldn't find enough quarters so I figured I'd give it a shot.
It took along time to wring them out though, any suggestions to speed up drying?
We live in MI so they can't hand outside right now.
Re: Hand washing laundry
I put all my delicates in the machine on the hand wash cycle and then hang them on a rack I found at Costco.
It's like this one except it has a hang bar across the top as well. It hold/dries a TON of clothes and even a pair of shoes or two.

To speed along one or two pieces, you can lay a shirt or pair of pants on a bathtowel and roll it up tightly to wring it. It gets a lot more water out than just wringing it by itself. Of course it leaves you with wet towels too, but if you need to get something dry to wear to work a little faster, then it might be worth it.
