This historic laundry tool, once widely used, simplified the laborious process of washing clothes. Before modern methods, laundry required hauling water, scrubbing, rinsing, and wringing.To be more eco-friendly, consider hand-washing clothes occasionally. However, hand-washing can be time-consuming, so a hand-powered washing machine is a great alternative. It uses less water, no electricity, and is more affordable than electric washers. Jawad Ahmed from The Home Depot explains that compact washers clean just as effectively as larger machines, saving water and energy. Plus, they’re portable and easy to store when not in use.
