Just play along. Those are the constraints and I have it on good authority that washing machines and dryers didnt used to exist so it must be possible with all the luxuries I do have that even Kings never knew

Extremely poor right now so I gotta be all wheel reinventive, real nice—like...get in ther gud. Nothings really very dirty, just lightly worn dirty and under wet towlels, exchethera

I did this for a long time too when money was a problem.

You can do laundry in the bathtub with a toilet plunger. Make sure everything is submerged, let it soak a long time, make the detergent do most of the work. Like an hour of soaking. Then use the plunger to force water through all the fabric. Then drain. Then rinse with fresh water to get rid of soap residue. Then hang to dry.

After that I bought a small washing machine intended for RVs. Was around 80EUR, no idea what that would cost today.
