Introduction
Challenges
Many people worldwide wash clothes manually, but the detergents are chemically harmful, and the repetitive motion of scrubbing is straining to the muscles and joints.
Approaches
Build a washing machine based on this inexpensive and durable design for use in rural areas. Use only Replimat components wherever possible. Gently wash clothes using pedal or solar electric power.
