1.Gather clothing that you want to wash. Make sure the items pass are actually dirty and worth the time and energy it will take to wash them.
2.Grab three buckets.
3.Pour a handful of soap into two of the buckets.
4.Fill all with buckets with water.
5.Take one clothing item and place in first bucket to get it soapy. Pull the garment just out of the water and rub the garment together briskly against itself to scrub out stains. Dunk back in the bucket for more lather. Focus on neck, arms, waist and other particularly dirty areas.
6.Lift the garment out and search for any missed stains.
7.Move the garment to the next soapy bucket to get out any stains noticed in the previous step and to make a second run through scrubbing.
8.Lift the garment out of bucket. If it meets your cleanliness standards wring the soap out of it as much as possible and place it in the rinse bucket.
9.In the rinse bucket make sure to get all of the soap out of the clothes, otherwise you will end up with a nice rash wearing soapy clothes. Replace the rinse water as soon as it starts to accumulate suds to minimize soapy residue on rinsed clothes.
10.After throughly rinsed you must wring as much water as possible out of the clothing without stretching the garment out too much.
11.Hang to dry on clothesline using clothespins.
12.Retrieve garments after they are dry, but before they become sun bleached.
13.Be thankful that you normally have access to a washing machine.
