Second, I see how the washboard and bucket and/or wringer would be helpful,
but why couldn't we put the jeans and work shirt in the bathtub with a bit
of heated water and slosh them around? I'm even thinking like stomping
grapes, only stomping on the clothes if they are extra dirty. Safety issue
or too much water for the bottom of the tub or ?
Oughta work fine but for safety I would suggest an overhead bar for balance. On one of my crazier days I wore clothes into the shower, sudsed and scrubbed and did dance steps, then rinsed off, took off the clothes--kinda sticky tricky--then rinsed myself off, then spent a lot of time wringing out jeans. Maybe could just hang soggy jeans on the clothesline and let them drip dry. Might take a few days. Anybody ever try that?
A secured barrel or heavy plastic trash can in the back of a pickup also works. Keep the load small.
