My last post made me think further about who actually has time for hand washing clothes. After a few quick google searches, it didn’t take long to realise that the majority of people who hand wash in their daily lives are generally the ones who don’t have a choice but to. It goes without saying that it is a common practice in poorer communities who can not afford or maybe have not even discovered these technologies which are available to our society literally, with the tap of a button.
I’ve linked a video to this post which shows how to wash clothes the African traditional way and it doesn’t look awfully complicated so I’ve set myself the challenge for the next time I do a wash, to try this method. While I was watching this video, it made me think about how many countries who are forced to hand wash clothes, generally have hot climates. In my head this flicked the switch of how much easier and quicker it must be for them to dry their clothes!
