Title: How To Wash Clothes On a Washboard
Post by: sledge on September 20, 2011, 11:05:43 PM

I printed out these instructions for my wife, video also included.  She was very appreciative.
Seriously, someone had better know how to do this.

EMP proof washing machine! I love it Sledge,

Better be careful that the wife doesn't hand the instructions back to you on WROL Day+1

If you have access to a stiff brush, like one of these:

and a clean, hard surface, you can clean clothes very well.

For modern washboards, check these out:
