This will usually include, water, basins, washing detergent, bleaching agent etc.2. Put on the right washing gear for the chore. This would normally include shorts and some T-shirt that you don’t mind getting wet. Remember that soapy water when left on clothes for a long tome often discolors the cloth.3. Sort your pile of clothes accordingly e.g. the whites together, the dark coloured clothes together etc.4. Fill the basin with water, preferably cold water and pour the detergent into the water and mix thoroughly. You can use warm or hot water according to the type of clothe as indicated on the clothe label.5. Place the pile of clothes into the basin and soak for 20-30 minutes; you can pour a little bleaching agent for the white clothes.6. Wash the clothes using a kneading action till they are clean7. Rinse thoroughly till all detergent is off. Three or more rinses in water will usually do.8. Hang your clothes out to dry on a clothes line.N.B.
