Portable Washing Machine |
The main advantages of using a portable washing machine such as the Presawash, Wonder Wash and other similar hand-operated washing machines are the cost savings in electricity and soap powder. Since running washing machines and heating the water for a washing machine increases gas and electricity bills it's useful to see what washing alternatives are available.
Portable washing machines have long been popular with caravanners, campers and boaters but with many people now needing to reduce expenditure, the portable washing machine is becoming sought after for mainstream home use, both as a substitute for a larger washing machine or as a back-up washing machine. Unfortunately very few hand-operated washing machines are still being manufactured so the best place to find one is on either a Presawash or Wonder Wash.
When it comes to drying, one option is to use a spin dryer in combination with an electric clothes dryer. A spin dryer only uses electricity for 3-5 minutes and an electric clothes dryer can cost as little as 1p an hour to run - and there is always line-drying outside, weather permitting. Furthermore, if you can find an old wringer or mangle you can eliminate the need for a spin dryer and reduce costs even further. Another method of washing laundry is to use a bucket and a vintage Victorian posser or posher to push up and down on the wet laundry in a bucket or tub to drive out the dirt.
