Here jepster in Colorado uses a Rapid Laundry Washer (a kind of plunger style laundry agitator) and a commercial salad spinner to wash his laundry and then hangs it out to dry.

Here is a closer look at the salad spinner he uses:

Here we learn how to make a camp-style bucket washer (which uses a plunger to wash). I’ve noticed on other videos that you can also make holes in the plunger to allow for more water flow and agitation:

Thanks

for visiting The Real Know-How.

Our focus: Passing along essential information for sustainable, self-sufficient living on an individual and community level.

The posts on The Real Know-How speak to how we feed and clothe ourselves, how we generate energy, work, get around and dispose of waste.

This know-how comes from hundreds of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are thinking up new ways of doing things and reviving traditional methods.

We’ve got video and photo tutorials (I’m a visual learner), articles and success stories for inspiration.

In selecting what to post we’ve tried to stay away from strongly ideological and jargony content. I think the know-how has to be shared regardless of what school of thought or movement you align with.
