How do you do laundry in the bathtub?

Check the labels on the clothing to find out what temperature of water is best. If you want to use hot water, make sure it’s not hot enough to scald your hands. Plug and fill the tub, pour in a little gentle detergent that’s made for hand washing, then put in the item(s) you’d like to wash. Swish them around with your hands in the water and gently squeeze them to work the soap and water through the fibers. Drain the tub and rinse the clothes with fresh water, then wring or squeeze out as much water as possible. Lay the clothes flat or put them on a line to dry.
