Technology smecknology

When it comes to the art of washing clothes. What you see in the picture is all we need. In fact it could be simplified down to just one plastic bowl for the people of the minimalist persuasion. What you see is all that we use, period. Two pans with water, one bar of soap, something to sit on (for us older folk) which is a plastic milk crate under the clothes. Just add soap to the water, then add the reason for it all (dirty clothes) into the cleaning brew, then swish, swirl, rub and nead and eventually voila, clean clothes. Also with lugging water and srubbing away it again helps to reduce the need to go to the gym. Also total cost to get oufitted? Reddish bowl was $ 2.40 USD. Black bowl was $ 1.00 USD. Bar of soap $ .50 USD. For under 3 dollars I'm a rocking and rolling to another two years of the only machine cycle this system has, hand wash. So yeah, yeah, yeah with technology smecknology.
