A quick & clean guide to washing your clothes by hand.
—whether it’s a new pantry recipe or a useful tip for your kitchen, here are some ideas to make things run a little more smoothly for you and your loved ones.
I live in New York City, where having a washing machine in your apartment building outweighs many other standard living space must-haves. Windows? Who needs ‘em? Heat? I’ll get an electric blanket. And apartments with laundry in-unit? They’re myths. If you tell me you have a washing machine, I simply won’t believe you.
Since I have yet to live in a building with laundry , I’m a frequenter of the laundromat around the block, where I drop off a hulking IKEA bag full of mostly oversized sleep shirts to be washed and folded. I know, I know, I could be saving money by doing the laundry myself—but this is a small luxury I’m hard-pressed to give up. I’ve done the math many times over, and the extra $7.50 is worth a Sunday unimpeded by dinging phone timers and frantic scurrying up and down the street.
But it doesn’t matter now, as I’m paranoid about communal washing machines in the wake of COVID-19. I don’t want to drop my laundry off for fear I might be carrying coronavirus—passing it along to the elderly laundromat owner, but I also don’t want to do it myself for fear of germs on the machines. What else to do, then, but roll my sleeves up and swish my socks and underwear around in the sink? Here’s how to get it going when your apartment is simplyFill your sink or wash basin of choice with room temperature water. Cold water works too, if you’re concerned about color-bleeding, and hot water should be reserved for disinfecting and for really hardy fabrics like terry cloth. Another hot tip : Try bringing a few clothes and a bottle of detergent into the shower with you.
