Laundry<\/a> is a household chore that most of us complain about without even realising how easy we have it. We’re fortunate enough to have washing machines and tumble dryers (for some)<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0as a resource\u00a0to help us do our laundry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Individuals from western countries within Europe and North America, are very well accustomed to using a domestic washing machine for their laundry routine, even some countries in the Middle East and parts of Asia too.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, many regions and countries in the world still use the original laundry method of washing by hand, in a river! Simply because of the countries economic inability to have a proper source of water supply to their homes, let alone technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at how some laundry routines and styles are done around the world, starting with the more economically developed going down to the less economically developed:<\/span><\/p>\n

China<\/span><\/h4>\n

China uses laundry machines, but the top loader ones. One very particular laundry rule in their routine is they NEVER wash socks and underwear together and if you were to take your underwear to get washed in a laundromat, be ready for rejection. Also, they prefer washing underwear by hand to prevent ‘contamination’ from other garments. They’re all about good hygiene there, which is a good thing!<\/span><\/p>\n
