Softly is good for hand washing!

I use the same powder I use in my machine. Seems to work well.

I am a huge fan of Martha’s Wool Mix – it leaves a great smell on clothes

Just drip dry to save time . The kids school uniform turns out smooth as long as I drip dry them without wringing . Otherwise you will get the creases . You can still use a small amount of washing powder as it is not restricted to the machine .

definately go for the lux flakes. it is about $5-$7 a box but will last for a really long time. if you have a top loader you can use them in your washing machine also, not for the front loader though

Lux flakes are perfect for handwashing!!

I always used to use Lux flakes for handwashing

it seems liquid is the way to go

i too would use liquid

I usually use a liquid wash for hand washing as I find it much easier to dissolve

I would use a liquid

Mum always used to use Velvet laundry soap, or Lux Flakes. For anything with stains, Sard soap is great. When I’m travelling and have to hand-wash clothes, I always have a small container of Bio-zet laundry powder or liquid, which is brilliant.

I would soak overnight in a laundry liquid, to help remove stains and refresh the clothes, then rinsed 3 times, its how I had to do it when my machine decided to finaly give up working.

Velvet soap, or Lux flakes, or a good liquid same as what you use in your machine

I love Lux Flakes and find I have to dissolve it first for hand washing – smells so – good.

i just use normal machine powder

your normal powder should work – there are usually directions for hand washing. I hand wash is my normal powder but dissolve it first as I find it doesn’t dissolve as well for hand washing as it does in the machine.

I find sard wondersoap great as well as Lux flakes

I use my normal laundry powder but do try to dissolve it before adding to the sink or bath

I dissolve a little ordinary cloths detergent in the sink, soak the clothes for a few minutes then agitate the water. Let them soak a little longer then run them under fresh water to rinse.
