    That is very, very hard work. As child in the US my mother used your technique for washing and "Scrub board" , she also used "Bluing on the white cloths." Can no longer find bluing in US stores anymore.

      Tranchie Garvin, not sure where in the US live, but if they have Caribbean or Latino shops, you can usually find it there. If that fails, good ole Amazon usually carries it. Hope this helps.

      @tranchie garvin: Yeah it is hard work at the end of the day fam ! But that's the life out there you know, although some of the population have washing machines
      It's so cool that you had that in the US as well!
      @Madam Manneh:
      Thank you for the advise he got !

    The first rinsing should be in order first the whites and then the bright and last the dark colours

      You know what - it is only now that I look back at the video that I see we were mixing all of the colours lol!

    Thank God we have gone to machines now. I am so happy not to be doing this any longer. Yes, you knew you were good at this when you got the squish squish sound! lol, throw the soapy water on your garden, it keeps the bugs away.

    I could relate to you when you said how tired you are. I don't usually wash my clothes my hand at home, I have a washing machine. But my mom and my grandma would wash their old things by hand. And I love and admire them. Jerejef waay

      Ohh right, they do that? It's actually better sometimes because of the laundry machine can be too rough at times🥶🥶

    Do they have washing boards there? I remember my Mom using a scrubbing-board to better handle the bigger pieces.

      I think our ancestors took the customs with them to different parts of the world and so you can see similarities across the african people all over the world.
      That's powerful ! May Allah bless you too fam!!!
