- In this video I show you a cheap (about ten dollars) and pretty easy way to wash your clothes thoroughly, rinse them easily. Spin cycle included! For other DIY tips, ways of living simply and tiny houses for sale added daily, be sure to checkout tinyhouselistin....
Soaking for 15-30 min in hot or warm water also helps loosen the dirt/soil and reduces plunging to 3 to 5 min too.Thanks for the drilling idea :)
How to spin inside ?
@@joanntaylor6125 I thought about that too. I am going to try hanging the bucket from my shower curtain rod and spinning it there. I'll be washing my clothes in my bathtub so why not.

🤔 Good question...
Maybe spin it inside of a large round trash barrel? Then you can reuse that water that spins out for something else, like scrubbing the floors?
You can replace the short stick with a taller stick on the plunger so that way you can plunge standing up & not hurt your back bending over.
Wow! I think the is the best DIY wash n dry system I have seen. How about putting a valve at the bottom of the bucket with no holes so you can open the valve, run a stream of clean water as you agitate more to get the soap out. Then put the outer drum on the clothes to squeeze out the water and pile on heavy objects in the bucket to squeeze the remainder of water out. Thank for this cool video.
+Mark Tomas I guess all the small holes would be to make it easier for 'spin' drying the clothing ... :)
That spin cycle reminded me of a homemade toy we made when I was young.
We threaded a strong thread through a large button (coat button size) through both button holes.
Leave about a foot or 18 inches of a loop, and knot the ends.
Pull the thread on the other side of the button, until you have an equal-size loop on both sides.
Thread your first fingers into each loop, one on each side.
Start the button spinning, twisting the doubled thread on each side of the button.
Then begin to pull, causing the button to spin incredibly fast.
The button will spin so fast it will wind itself up the other way, even further and tighter.
As long as you maintain tension on the thread, the button will spin like a blur first one way, and then the other.
And I wonder...
What would happen if you'd make two holes in the lid of the bucket (near the sides) and two holes in the bottom, close to the edges...
And then thread a strong nylon rope so that you could do the same trick with that bucket?
The rope would need to be part of the pre-wash assembly of the bucket.
Once the clothes are rinsed, all you would need is two young saplings, about 2" diameter, with a branch the right height on each to keep the rope from falling down.
Wind up the bucket on its rope, and pull one sapling back to start that thing spinning... This size of sapling would apply the right amount of tension, to make that bucket spin like crazy. Let it go until it stops, and I bet your clothes would be nearly dry already!
If there are no saplings to use, I'm sure a fencepost on one end, and a loose pole on the other, to pull back on, would do the same trick.
I think the lid might not continue fitting tight enough. I would attach the rope at the top of the bucket on the sides near the top, but below where the lid fits when it's on.
If you by the screw on lid made for 5 gallon buckets it wouldn't come off. It has one part that snaps on the top of the bucket (real tight) and it has threads on it and the lid screws into it. They sell them in the paint section with the buckets.
@@aubreygmcghee Called a "Gamma" lid.
We called that toy a “zizz wheel”. Just don’t get it near your hair!
At 1:12 “Without the holes in there, this project won’t work.” I disagree. I did a test and found that the plunger works better without holes. That is because the plunger will produce a suction effect that pulls the clothes to the top of the water. So there is a lot more movement of the clothes through the water - thereby helping to clean them.
haha clever , Hands down ;D the best home made one I've seen so far
BRILLIANT!!!
Hey we wanted to see the clothes to make sure they were clean , hmmmm. lol
Genius.
I can’t understand the 200 thumbs down🙄 Is it because they didn’t discover it? Or too much work for the wittle bee bees ?
To everyone who's never drilled holes in plastic before: After you get the bit all the way through, flip the motor into reverse and run it while you're pulling out the bit, this will clean up the plastic burrs CONSIDERABLY. Maybe not 100%, but afterward you can always turn a larger bit on the inside, just in your hand, to chamfer the hole.
Thank you
Drill through it in reverse, let the drill bit melt through it
Chamfer...new vocabulary word.
I wonder what heating the drill bit would do.
It IS plastic. When I'm pottering around cutting plastic with a knife, I heat the knife. It thus cuts through a much softer surface, so I'm not sawing away. 🤷 Use if useful?
@@grmpEqweer I think that'd just gum up a drill bit. It's sort of like the importance of having a sharp blade ... It's better to cut through material that's reasonably firm, to a point, rather than being gummy and gooey and grippy.
@@ItsAsparageese
True. Guess it depends on part on the plastic.
I just made this setup and have one recommendation: after drilling the holes from the outside of the bucket there are sharp edges, I went in with a small knife and carved them down so they wouldn't tear up the thinner fabrics.
Two days later: I would also recommend sanding/stripping the decals from the strainer bucket. After two washes, they started peeling off

Good tip.... thank you for sharing
Padraig Coleman or drill the holes outward
Better using a soldering iron.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing!
Ooh. The last time I had no washer I just filled the tub, added detergent, "treaded the grapes" on my clothing for a while, drained, rinsed via the shower head, treaded again to remove moisture.
That worked.
But this might work better.👍
I made it yesterday because I was sick of begging people to borrow their washing machine. It totally rocks and I should have done it ages ago!
Marie-Ève Rousseau im where u were ima try it
Same .... It works wonders!! 100% useable video!!
@@lostboi210 Awesome!
I can't wait to build my next washing machine. I'm moving to the country side in 3 weeks. Going to build me one. Thanks for the awesome tutorial.
Offer up and Craig's list usually have cheep and free washers and dryers
I’ve been wanting to make something like this but couldn’t figure out the “spin” cycle. This is genius! Thank you.
Honey our crazy neighbor is spinning buckets in the yard again. ...
And then sitting on it
😂😂🤷🏻♀️
😂😂😂😂💀
"And then you sit on it!" haha.
Hahahahaha im still laughing
Add a little bit of vinegar to the rinse water to get all the soap out of the clothing. ;-)
Yes, this is true!
Looks like fun.to do allso
I use vinegar in the rinse for my black clothes because it keeps the black color from fading to brown.
How much
I love the squash cycle. That is brilliant!
Wife and I used this, while stationed in Germany, forty + years ago. Worked then, and will work when we start to RV full time, April 2015
I think I'll do this tomorrow, I'm tired of spending money at the laundromat!
And Make Sure You Remove The Plunger Before Sitting on It ..
good POINT ZaGGy, hahahahhahahahhahahahhha,,,,........aahahahahahahha.
that has got to hurt...
Haaaaahahahaaaa
But that's the best part about doing laundry!
Mr. Garrison advises to leave the plunger in. You could even get different shaped attachments for it. Combining this washer with a monkey rocker could bring back the excitement many housewives get every spin cycle (especially when intentionally setting the load partially off balance)
for a stronger spin cycle, i think you could make like a swing (with two ropes instead of one. ) it will lift the bucket a bit, and take a little more force to wind up but once it starts spinning, it will spin much stronger because gravity.
its a neat idea. i might try it. doesnt look very expensive at all.
Using 2 lines instead of 1 is genius.
What u mean
@@Brandon-no3vclike if you wanna spin the bucket much and much stronger get 2 ropes or wires or lines or even strings but better know if it's strong and try to get a little more force to wind up if you see the do it yourself washer spinning very fast means your clothes are drying
Don't forget a vinegar rinse. Vinegar will dissolve any residual soap. Should not hurt your lawn either as it will be diluted.
next video. how to churn butter, featuring the 2 orange buckets lol good stuff man
You would need different 5g buckets for food items. You can buy regular 5g because they need to be food grade or they will leech into your food.
Lol
@@comasiba3 Standard orange Home Depot buckets are already food grade, I'm like 95% sure. (Still wouldn't want to use the same one I use for laundry though, of course, lol)
I did lol when you said, "and a plunger.... hopefully a new one."
Actually you can substitute washing powder with just Baking soda (NaHCO3) and then rinse it with a mix of [cheap industrial vinegar + a few drops of essential oil ] . it would greatly reduce cost
Baking soda can remove dirt from clothes?
yes , it's amphipathic meanings it can remove both oily things and dirt , and it's soluble . After then your clothes remains naturally clean with no smell at all .
Wow! Thanks bro! You amaze me! It is a great fact!
I'm sorry to say that there's no way to compare baking soda with detergent. Detergent cleans much better.
dulce angel ":=sad truth. I've been spoiled my whole life with manmade/magic/chemicals that work wonders and smell great.
I think the bucket inside of the bucket pressure ringer is a simple yet awesome innovative idea. Thanks for sharing with us.
Depends how snugly the buckets fit together. I might try this , though bc I need to get more water out before I put them in the salad spinner
I dont understand how is anything spinning? The bucket is definitely not spinning.
it s 6 am, how did i end up here lol?
6 am for me too lol
mossy1 hahaha with no intention to clean clothes
PASCALP25 Maybe someday.. when I get my hours straight. lol
Because you have good taste ;)
I ended up here because I watched some dude make a Love shirt for his sister, being curious how to make glitter shirts, and someone in the comment section wrote about using a DI Y washer. I was serious and curious about seeing how it is made.....
love this idea my washing machine just went out probably in the timer possibly an easy fix but the more stuff breaks down the more I'm wanting to live off the grid.
I've watched dozens of these type of washing videos. Yours is the most original rinse and spin cycles!
Seconded!
I like the idea of sitting on the bucket to squeeze excess moisture from wet clothes!
I made a video using a potato masher and a juice container to plunge and agitate underwear and also used bucket to try out washing jogging pants. Quite effortless in terms of force needed and good water agitation to clean, but....
I needed a better next step to getting the water out as I have fibromaylgia and cannot heavily squeeze wet fabrics out for very long. Thanks for your video! :)
just put the clothes in the bucket with water and soap , do your plunger thing (i do it by hand) about 5 min. , let sit there for 25 minutes minimum (40 is better) , do the plunger thing again . Rince three times . Spin ( i squeeze each clothes by hand) . ;o) been doing this for 11 years . I love your spin cycle tho , i think i might give it a try ¢heers
That seems like way too much work and like it would take too long Francois.
Laundry soap has enzymes that "eats" the dirt/sweat/etc to make it easier to come off. Soaking gives them more time to work and your clothes will come cleaner with less effort.
It is ok zo leave it, soaking over night and than manual?
@@jezusova yes, overnight is fine.
Charlie MMAFAN you lazy punk!!! go clean your room!!!! 😄
better idea would be to hook up an enclosed bucket to the wheel of a stationary bicycle so that your pedaling will tumble it. Of course spinning that amount of water on your own would be kinda difficult, but a gear reduction to increase torque might work.
that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life. I'm making one tomorrow
Dec 6, 2015: I viewed most of the washing bucket procedures but I think you idea of the holes, and draining by sitting on the bucket is probable the better of the others in comparison. I'll be of the Home Depot to get my stuff. thanks. bwm baja ca.
One could use Baking Soda in lieu of laundry detergent. About 3/8 cup should suffice for this washing machine.
easier on back if you use a broom stick so that you don't have to bend so far
Very good idea, thank you for making this video. Did you consider putting a strong high quality fishing swivel on the line. So when you spin the bucket the fishing swivel spins and the line does not get all twisted up?
Hi
This is a great video! i was about to purchase a mobile plunger for $21 incl shipping but i saw this video & heading to home depot now to make it. I have limited space and no washer hook up and no space for dryer! THIS IS PERFECT & CHEAP and when i move i can take it with me!!!! THANK YOU!! now i brough a mobile 24 piece clothes peg rack for $17 from home depot & i hang my clothes outside & they dry in half a day!!! :)
I was thinking about off grid laundry and I thought of my o cedar mop with the spinner. Why can't we get a spinner with a foot pedal that fits over the bath tub, large enough to do laundry? It would be hands free since you are using the foot pedal to get the process spinning. the spinner basket should lower into the detergent water filled tub to be able to agitate the clothes and it should be able to raise out of the water enough to spin to throw the water off. then use the shower nozzle or hose to rinse the clothes, then spin again to drain off the excess water. You would be able to see when your clothes are clean and clear of dirt or detergent rather than trust your electric washing machine. I would add a wringer also just to ensure the water is just drained off completely. I don't think this has been invented yet. Maybe you and your husband can invent it. All the off grid and tiny home families would buy it, as well as apartment dwellers who have to lug their laundry to a laundromat.
I love the double bucket arrangement. The spin cycle is a fantastic bonus.
Where can I get a MAN like THAT!!!
😂🤣
Cheap, unemployed and living in a van? Try seattle.
@@beccaham It's called living off grid. It doesn't make you cheap and you don't need to be employed to do it. Get out of your capitalism bubble.
@@looksirdroids9134 lol the guy is using someone else's garden hose. That's not exactly off-grid living. And based on his $200 north face puff vest, I'd say he doesn't shy away from capitalism much.
Craigslist or Amazon or Etsy. Yes Etsy !!
great ideas. Just attach the plunger to a porch swing to somehow make the work action and man, got it made!!! maybe ratchet it to a stationary bike pedal and let the thighs do the work to make it simple. so many ways to take this. I love your videos. the two bucket idea and spinner are just great.
To spin dry easier, twist your line from the tree BEFORE you hang the bucket up and it will UNspin itself.
That's awesome man!
I've seen the plugger in bucket before but the double bucket with the holes and the spin cycle is genius
Did you see the new version of this on Amazon with easier to use handle? It's called the "Washing Wand".
Lol..I've got to give you credit for the thought process and creativity but as far as efficiency goes, ummm this is more like penny wise pound foolish. How many clothes can u wash at a time? 3/4 articles per "cycle"? and with all the plunger motions (10/15 mins worth), spin cycle and all that..u will be tired as hell by the time you are ready for ur next set.not to talk about the soap water you just wasted..i think old school big basin still beats this one. Good stuff though, cant lie..
Have you tried two sets of buckets? Then you can keep your wash water and wash least dirty to most dirty. You might have to change it part way through or wash a rug at the end that is super dirty to use up the suds. Then the rinse set can be used independently to squeeze out soap then to rinse and squeeze again. Love the spinner!
I was thinking the exact same thing John Ransom!
Brilliant! I use a breathing washer now, but wringing the clothes out is hard on my hands, and drip dry takes forever. This is great! Thank you!
Thanks Barb! If you try it out please let us all know how it works.
A tip to get the bucket spinning super fast would be to wrap some thin, strong string/rope around the bucket and pull the end of it fast
If intending to set up a twist and release hang & spin cord, I would suggest the first row of holes to be almost level with the very bottom of the inside of the bucket. And also a way to hold it centered on the handle so it will spin much faster than what is seen in the video.
Thanks for the vid though, good stuff.
Great additions!
I tried the spinning idea. It doesnt really get the job done. I was twisting and letting bucket spin for a very long time. I ended up having to wring my clothes out by hand. Not very effective. Great idea though
I am retired and I have have used a laundry stopper since I was preschool. My grandmother did her delicates and I supposedly helped. When my mother passed I got it and used it till it fell apart.
VARIATION=The "Spinning Line" could be a rubber line similar to a cut alternator belt, etc or a really good rope.
Twist it good to create tension like preparing to spin a top THEN attach the bucket, let go & stand back!
See my comment above. :)
COOL! made fluff out the strained clothes before spin. You will possible need a counter weight on a lid, maybe? But great idea.
I love 5 gallon buckets. Never thought about using the lid like that. Great idea & keep me a bit drier. Buckets make a great cider press too. Thanx!
Bakeries in grocery stores often sell or give away buckets their icings etc come in.
Dunkin Donuts used to be good too.
This is a great idea. Often just use hands and plunge the clothes themselves up and down. Have also used recgangular 20 litre container and trodden the clothes bare foot. I would using a natural, plant based laundary detergent and using a fraction of what is recommended. I keep adding small amounts until the dirt and oils fro the skin begin to roll out. The natural plant based detergents are much easier to rinse out and less harmful. Australia has a brand called "Earths Choice" made by Natures Organics, it is plant based.
Often, I am in a very remote with the only water being that which is carried in or caught when(or if) it rains. So keeping detergent to the barest minimum and using plant based, saves a tonne of water and means only a single rinse. The natural plant based detergents are generally recommended down here when you throw the water on the ground at the end..
What size holes do you drill into your plunger because different people make the holes different sizes but I've heard that if the holes are too big your clothes will actually go through the holes plus the force of the water won't go through them as much and probably not clean your clothes as good but also if the holes are too small water might not even really go through them good enough so I'm curious what size holes are best to be drilled into the plunger thanks.
Charlie MMAFAN I was thinking the same thing. The video indicates 1/8” but the holes actually look more like 1/4” to me. Curious as to what size holes others have used and worked best for them. Thought I’d ask before I get drilling.
This is a great idea. At first he started spinning the bucket and I was like.. uhhh... that aint gonna do anything. But like in his video it does work. I think what would be even more effective, unless he does it too and I just couldn't tell from the video, is to spin and spin and spin it so the rope or string winds up really good, then it will unravel and go way faster than you could spin it with your own hands.
@ Steve; So you were a little sparce with the plunger instructions and specifics...there are a few different kinds of plungers, and I had no idea which kind to get...No matter where I looked, I always found the ones that have extra rubber material underneath. Assuming I CAN indeed use that kind, I'd theoretically just make sure the drill made holes all the way through both layers...How many holes do I drill through the plunger now, I don't think you mentioned it in this video, but if you did and I'm just missing it, I apologize ahead of time. Thanks for the idea. Take it easy. Looking fwd to your response. Until next time, sir...have a good one.

Good idea. I was just in Lowe's today trying to debate whether I want to buy a portable washing machine or hand wash. I really love handwashing cuz i love my clothes and love the old skool way of doing it but I needed to research reviews and different methods to narrow down my thoughts and I love this solution. I need a drill and I'm good too go. Oh and two new buckets and a plunger. Awesome video tho
I am very excited to try this idea....bought my supplies today and I'm charging up my drill to make the holes.
Of all the videos I watched yours was definitely the best besides one thing...
I'm going to use a long handle on my plunger other than that your idea of hanging it to spin is absolutely brilliant .
I have lived the last four months with no washing machine or dryer and I've been able to hang my clothes outside but now it's turning winter and my clothes are not drying fast inside the house and are dripping all over the floor so this is my perfect solution I feel like I don't even need to buy a washer and dryer ever.
Plus we like to go camping and this will greatly reduce the amount of clothing that we need to bring on long camping trips.
thank you so much for sharing.
This spin cycle is genius!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
lol you are a smart man .
That spin cycle idea is genius. I have wrist/thumb issues and squeezing/wringing things really messes me up if I do it hard or too much, gotta minimize that, so this is SUPER helpful! Thanks so much for sharing this!
I'm living in my RV and had been wanting to try this for a long time. I can wash the clothes in a soapy bucket while driving around, but wringing is the hard part. I was hoping sitting on it would make it much easier, but yeah, no, that didn't work at all, because the top bucket as is cannot go all the way to the bottom of the bottom bucket. You're left with about 4 inches of untouched, unwrung clothes. In the video, the bucket is pretty full, so you see water coming out, but the clothes are still dripping wet when you do this with a smaller load. Adjustments could be made, but I think a roller wringer is the way to go.
Put a couple of old disc golf frisbees or equivalent in the bottom of the wash bucket to "raise" the level of the floor of that bucket; then the clothes should be more squeezed.
Love these videos. Do some more with those buckets!
Coming soon :-)
I have one of the small plastic hollow 2 piece plunger with a hollow handle. You can drill a hole in the top and use it as a carburetor. Breaks down smaller and can be brought into the gym where you can clean your clothes you wear into the gym. YET to get the balls to try and wash at the gym but I suspect nobody would care you are behind the curtain making strange noises what else could you be doing?
Parabéns pelo canal, seus vídeos são muito legais! merece mais reconhecimento!
First, soaking for about twenty minutes in the soapy wash water before doing it might make it more effective. I'd put a handle on the plunger so I could use both hands and I'd try to find an old hand crank clothes wringer, you might have to sew on a few buttons now and again but the're pretty effective and fast.
I was looking for an alternative to buying one of those flimsy looking hand crank ones and this one looks better. I've done most of my clothes by hand in a wash tub but I'm getting too old for that.
That's really clever - and cheap! Thanks for sharing :)
bro what is the specific name for the green thing that you connected to the bucket? the little loop thingy. what is the specific name for it so I can look it up and buy one. and also what was the name of the string you used. all I heard was" bang" something
NO LOVE LIKE HIS
It's a lanyard hook
Does it matter whether the plunger is on top of the clothes or under it?
What about drilling holes in the bottom of the bucket?
AWESOME video! I live alone and the trips to the laundromat add up especially in hot summers. I’m willing to do this for a lot of my washing!
Same here. I study martial arts 5 days a week before work and have waaaay too much dirty laundry. I’ve been doing bucket laundry since the pandemic. I can’t spin dry because I rent a tiny apt in NYC and there’s nowhere to hang it. My walls and ceiling are crumbling plaster, but I tell myself that wringing out the clothes helps me get stronger. At 55 I’m pretty sore and tired and don’t know how much stronger I’m gonna get 😂 but that’s what I tell myself anyway!
What size holes did you put in the plunger? Is it 1/8" holes for both the bucket and the plunger? Thanks!
That would so work for camping.
what about that septic? have you posted that video yet? thanks
u had too much fun washin clothes....good job
The spinning idea from the tree is fabulous, thank you so much for sharing your idea. Try with two lines,attach each line to where handle joins the bucket to get a stronger spin ? Maybe you could do another video showing which works better,one single line from middle of handle or two lines each side of bucket? Look forward to the outcome of these spins.
OMG all this work for one piece of clothing?!!! just wash it with your hand in 3 minutes..or put clothes on bath tube wash them by foot
Genius! I bought two hand washing machines on
Amazon that were so cheaply made yet very expensive. I returned both. I am going to do this!!! This design is far more superior to them.
At my camp, in forest....goog idea
size of bit to make plunger stick hole... size of holes in plunger and how many needed... also what is teh weight limit of the rope and or name of it... thank u!!!
Super model 😆😁
Be careful with the buckets next to heaters. I was putting extension cords in a 5 gallon drill spool I made for 100ft+ cords. And I had to stop for a second and answer the door and chat with the neighbors because they had a lawn ornament stolen. And wile I was emailing the camera view from my house for more information to them. I was outside maybe 16 mins plus maybe like 2 more to reset my mind to continue organizing. And I came back and the bucket was a puddle on the floor. Thank God I wax my cords for protection. The plastic didn't bind to the cord. But. The way it melted the bucket. Was terrifying. Imagine if it stuck to my wood floor or worse a fire
Can you explain why the plunger "won't work" without the holes, lol. That seems goofy, all you're doing is sloshing the water around. You could do that with just the handle of the plunger. The most challenging part of hand-washing clothes is the wringing. Spin dryer or the old-timey rollers wringer (like a mop bucket that has one).
I made the same thing as you but I put a pvc fitting on the bottom inside the bucket and had another with pieces of pex looped threw the pvc. It came threw the bucket lid. I put a slit in the pvc on top and used a trailer jack Handel that fit perfect I. The pvc...it worked perty good but after 2 times I was like Fu*k this crap I'm just buying a new washer and dryer ..went on offer up and found washing machine free
Marky mark wheres da funky bunch when u need em? lol
If I had a dime for every time I've been called that :-)
Couldn't resist! Lol…
I'm glad Marky now has a close personal relationship with God, and left the rough life behind. I hope Donny ( or was it Donnie ) will follow suit, if he has not yet. While most young ones were #TeamJoey, I was the only one I knew for Don. I did not know he was a bad boy, though.
I’m trying to figure out how to do laundry if the grid fails 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ thank you for this. I saw in other videos they do an agitation rinse cycle with clean water
When it started spinning fast and that water was squirting laughed so hard. I thought I've seen it all, but not this.
I love this. It seems better for outdoors tho. I imagine a giant salad spinner and I wish I knew how I could make one for the “spin cycle” to keep it more contained indoors. Anyone have any ideas?
Yeah, all concerned about the water spilling on the ground but yet you drilled and let plastic bits. Go everywhere.
Thank you!! I have such a tight budget and cannot afford the laundromat right now but need clothes.
I can't find these buckets cheaper than £10 each in the UK... Bloody rip off country!
You can also get a round wood or plastic block and place it in the bucket before squishing, to help get out even more water.
I guess forming two chords in a V-shape, hanging the bucket on the tree will get spinning much faster to drifting water out of the clothes. It also spreads water far out for watering plants for the garden.
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i dont have to buy a portable washing machine! Your the man! dude thank you!
This is freaking brilliant and will help when we are camping or tiny home living as i will not have a washer but i do habe a clothesline and will live on a hill with a great breeze 😂. Thank you!
