You're just being an agitator. I would not like the chores of a Blue Monday. :)

"Do you really understand how beating the daylights out of something can actually get it clean? I’ve read about some road warriors’ makeshift washers (a new plunger stuck through a hole in the top of a bucket of water w/detergent in it), but just physical force?" If vehicles are involved in your lifestyle, placing the clothes in a tub or two with water and detergent, and taking them for a ride on a bumpy road will provide all the agitation you'll need. Then it's a rinse or two and hanging them out for the fusion-powered clothes drier.
Wringer washers may or may not be available, but the same type of wringer is used for mop buckets.
Come the (rest of the) apocalypse, I expect all of you to have your appropriate Plans B and C in place, and your vestments looking spiffy.

Did you guys know you can't wash feather pillows? Think that's bad, wait til you see the dryer after it finishes off finishes drying the pillow!

[Ahem] I’m all right again now. A beer and some nice salmon with low-carb pasta and Alfredo sauce put me to rights.
To: NicknamedBob
I know this looks primitive, more so in winter. Let me tell ya what you're looking at....its a rain collection tub that runs water off the roof. A bit of soap, a scrub board and wringer and you've got a poor man's version of wash day...off the grid. I hate it. But it works. In the winter clothes are not washed. It's the apocalypse. Who cares how you smell?;(

Saving the feathers from duck hunting. After the apocalypse, there'll be no dryer.

Gonna give me lessons in how to suck eggs while you’re at it?
Here’s a hint; use the rinse water from one load for the next load’s wash water.
Silentgypsy can tell you how to make soap.
Save your fireplace ashes.

I make soap. I have made all our bath and hand soap since 1999.
To: TheOldLady
I know we’ve talked about it, but I may have misremembered.
If Google can’t remember it for me, I don’t always know how to look it up.
I also remember that you don’t use hardwood ashes.
.
What worries me though, is that if we have to go back to outhouses, there aren’t any Sears catalogs.

No, I do not use hardwood ashes. I use commercially available lye, pure NaOH, even though I am familiar with the egg-test for lye content in wood ash. I also use cooking oils like almond, sesame, and olive. Butters are also included, mango and shea, and coconut oil. A small amount of castor oil helps with lather as well.
To: JoeProBono
Dreamfields. It’s amazing.
