So i am currently living in india and have no washing machine. Do you have any tipps on washing or a good tutorial?
Or should i ask /trv?
I thought this is the right board for such practical matters.

get a washboard or make something that looks like one
follow pic related then rinse the clothes in the river or another bucket of clean water
ring out the excess water and hang the clothes to dry on a line

I use a toilet bowl plunger. The old style that is just a red rubber cup. There's some holes drilled around is to let water through. Then I plung everything in the bucket with a lid on it. Rinse and repeat. It does pretty good. It is amazing how dirty the water can be. Looks like this one.

They're in every antique shop. People held on to them for some reason. Probably find a mangle they're asking too much for too for drying.

yeah get a washboard if you can, if you can't then Google washing clothes with a stone or perhaps a stick
this is how it was historically done, you have to beat the clothes or rub them with something to get the dirt out, washing machines use tumbling for that purpose

doing this by hand as shown in the pic absolutely sucks, even feet are better

They work really well and are good for delicate stuff that has to be clean by hand.

You could make a washboard out of some sheet metal with a few folds and a frame
Also I've seen films of primitive tribals carving the basic shape in a large wood block or a rock on the river bank

I wonder what the locals do?
Washboard is good advice anyway. In my limited experience, soap and water and rubbing does fairly well, though the choice of soap is important. Some are not that great at removing odor for whatever reason.

Interesting. Do you need bar soap or does normal laundry detergent work? Also, is the dress necessary or can you get good enough results without it?
