I guess the most efficient way would be to leave your clothes on, get in the tub, and wash your clothes with them on. (gives a whole new meaning to the phrase wash and wear). This way you're not wasting extra water. After that you can either take them off and go hang them outside or just go stand outside and drip dry.
My mother used to bribe us children to run up and down on the clothes in a big bath she kept for the purpose. We had no power on our farm. It was great fun.
Invest in a mangle. Mind your fingers. Otherwise they'll be mangled.
Hang them on the line to dry.
A Tub?You mean by hand.The key there is to soak and rub each stain by hand.use a good detergent and fill the tub,soak,hand agitate,then wring out and put into a tub of rinse water,and rinse well.Then just hang them out.If you have nicer clothes do not wrinkle by wringing out just let drip dry.Hope this helps.
