"You rinse by hand and spin while the next bundle is washing. There is nothing wrong with the way she is doing it. It saves water and soap."

"Yes it is how it works. If you just put the clothes in the spin without rinsing, it gets full of soap and that is how your spin breaks faster. And the clothes is also still full of soap. You also save water and wash more bundles of clothes. Wie is nou dom? 😂"
