Abstract: A manual laundering system comprising a bucket, a lid, and a handle assembly. Dirty clothes/laundry, detergent, and water are placed inside the bucket. The handle assembly is positioned within the bucket. The lid is mounted to seal the bucket by passing an end of the handle assembly through the lid having a hole. Once sealed, the handle is moved to agitate the clothes/laundry, detergent, and water inside the bucket.

Abstract: A washing machine 10V having a water tank 20, a relatively rotatable shaft 30 mounted in the center of the tank, a first set of washing boards 40S mounted to the tank and a second set of washing boards 40M mounted to shaft 30. Washing boards 40M and 40S rotate relative to one another and extend radially toward each other. Both sets of washing boards are flexible and are generally rectangular in plan view. In operation, the relative movement between the shaft and the tank causes the tip sides of the two sets of washing boards to pass proximate to each other so as to simulate the kneading and rubbing action of a hand laundry.
