Rapid Washer

I just ran across this handy little device and wanted to share with my fellow Preppers:

This washer uses a technique of pushing and pulling the water through the clothes, without excess friction (which also reduces the wear on your clothes). This washer uses minimal water and because of the agitation motion, less soap. Use in a bucket, sink or tub. It also rinses your clothes using fresh water. A great item to have with your emergency and outdoor supplies.

Look it up on Google Shopping and looks like you can get on for around $23.00

FIELD TESTED IN AFGHANISTAN
By Dave Jones
My son is fighting at a tiny combat outpost in Afghanistan. They have no washers, no amenities. I ordered this and had it directly shipped to my son. He called me and told me it works very well! He said you put your water, soap clothes in bucket of water. You plunge up and down which causes a suction in the water. The water actually is sucked through the clothing and removes dirt. He emptied his bucket of water and soap and repeated until the water stayed clean. Then he poured rinse water in the buck and repeated to remove soap. All the guys at the outpost are actually excited over this litter device! No more soiled, stinking clothes

I wonder how it compares with the Wonder Wash.

The video makes me appreciate my washer and dryer even more.

Um, couldn’t you just use a toilet plunger? haha. Looks the same.

[Kartographer]

Well about a third of the cost, not much to break and I say using a five gallon bucket you should be able to wash more clothes per ‘load’.

The cone is designed in such a way that it makes the water flow through much better than a plunger.

saving for later. This would be great at our place in the mountains!

It looks like a good idea for camping or an emergency, but I wonder if you get a big plunger and do the same thing.

It looks like something Al Gore would like to have us all use.

See the picture in POST #6 the way the head is designed is what makes it work.

That looks good. Thanks. But think outside of what you’re familiar with for washing clothes. A washtub, elevated enough for you to stand comfortably, and a washboard are not really a bad way to go.

But further, there are more ways than one to agitate laundry. Think about it. I know that we can come up with something better.

I mean picture in POST #9 My Bad!

Not near as hard on the clothes as a wash board would be or your hands either.

[Selene]

I like it. I am getting one for camping.

Thanks for the info.

I could talk politics with my Far-Left Lib neighbor. That always causes a lot of agitation!

Survivalist, sweet-smellin’ ping!
Keep in mind, she uses powdered laundry detergent....If you use powdered, throw the water out in the woods and not down the drain if you’re on a septic tank...powdered soap tends to clog up the “feeder arms”. Of course, if the water supply is cut off, we’ll be doing EVERYTHING in the woods!

We use liquid. We have over a years on hand now. ;-)
