I really love the Breathing mobile washer. I met the inventor in Idaho when I went to pick up a case of them in person. I had hopes of giving some to my in-laws in the Philippines where they really do wash by hand, and then selling the rest of them. I thought the idea would catch on rather quickly. At first everyone was highly critical and embarrassed to use them because it looked like a plunger. Even though I showed them it wasn't and how quickly it would wash the clothes the cleaning ladies still refused to use it. They figured washing with their bare hands was the best way to go and they were also afraid of it working so well that it would put them out of business. I actually love how well it works and works much better than a washing machine.
I love that outdoor laundry room you have. Resteeming an upvoting this post.

That's funny about the worrying the washer might put them out of business - and about being embarrassed to look like they're washing clothes with a toilet plunger. I have to say that I haven't yet bought a real one and have actually been using a real toilet plunger (brand new and clean of course) for hand washing...but I have written in large bold letters on the handle "This is for washing clothes ONLY!!!! Do not use on any toilet!!!"
Which of course will mean nothing if one of my kids tries using it since none of them are old enough to read yet. Hopefully it will just never happen.
