No wringer. This is a temporary deal until I can afford a washing machine.Originally Posted by goldfinch
Interesting stuff though inconvenient. Do you use any kind of wringer?
I cruised some of the videos. I like the salad spinner idea for spinning out water. Maybe I'll start washing underwear by hand when I am traveling. Dry my bras and then my spinach.
I looked up some salad spinners (even some super-humongous cafeteria sized ones) and decided they weren't worth it for the short time I'd need them. So far my sodden laundry has dried much faster than I expected it would, so I'm not hurting for a spinner.
When I travelled I always washed my underwear by hand. 3 pairs on each trip. Wear one, wash one, and one still drying from the night before. (NOT cotton...)

As far as the "Grey stuff"..I've reduced it in my laundry by using Baking Soda where most people use fabric softener...I add 2 TBSP to 1/2 cup of HOT water, and pour it into the beginning of the rinse cycle...everything comes out softer, without adding chemicals/perfumes, and the rinses are cleaner on the rare item I handwash when I don't have enough to run a full machine load. It also works to help abate hard water, although I think more baking soda might be needed there, not sure as my current water has few minerals in it. I almost always use my clothesline, but am still using an old top load washer...found an HE front load and brought it home, but have yet to test it out.
