Here's it's a bit different. We draw two tubs of water, grab powdered soap, add clothes and rub. One tub is for washing; the other for rinsing. Because we've been traveling widely in dusty places, we must empty both tubs before the "load" is through.
The tubs, I should mention, are on the tile floor in the bathroom, which is a corner of the kitchen separated by a partial wall. There's a shower (no stall), a faucet for filling buckets, a toilet (blessed, beautiful toilet!) and a sink.
Washing the clothes is an athletic endeavor, involving much standing, bending at the waist, energetic scrubbing, intense wringing and the use of muscles (in my hands, for instance), that I didn't know I had.
The best part is last: Hanging the clothes on the line to dry. It doesn't take long here. In a couple of hours I bring in a pile of clean clothes, crisped and sweetened by the sun.
