Title: Laundry on the sly

WARNING: PROBABLY THE MOST AWKWARD QUESTION YOU'VE READ ALL DAY
For the first time in a while, I've begun wearing women's clothes at school again. However, let's just say I'm not too terribly enthusiastic about my parents finding them. That means cleaning then would have to take place at my school, during lunch. Is there a good way to get them clean, without a washer or dryer? I'm limited to sinks, and whatever I can find in the Dollar General down the street and will fit in my locker (one of the tall ones, but fill size).

You need a salad spinner if you can find one that will fit. It'll wring excess water out.

I suggest saving your quarters and finding a laundromat... Maybe you've got some friends that can drive? Get them to take you to the laundromat on weekends. Or maybe make friends with a girl at school and get her to take your clothes home and have her or her parents do your laundry, pretending it's her own clothes of course.

Hand wash works but is a bit on the slow side. Mix the soap with the water well before adding the clothes. Allow them to soak for a few minutes and then hand scrub any visible spots. Give all the clothes a good rubbing to get any body oils off then allow them to soak a bit longer. Some delicate female clothes are hand wash only because they are unable to take force of a washing machine. Make sure you get the soap rinsed out or you will pay for it latter.

I think you can find it for cheaper but this gives you the idea.

When I wash hats, I put them inside of a pillowcase and wash them in the machine with the rest of my clothes. I suppose you could do the same with clothes inside of that pillowcase... Just a thought!

If you have a sister with similar height and width, you could borrow some things and sneak them into her hamper on laundry day. I did this from time to time.
Or you could always have your parent teach you how to do the laundry at home and you could be the good lil child that does all the laundry. If they get suspicious you could suggest they pay you an allowance and offer to take out trash - classic deflection/refocus. They think you want money and you get to wash your nice clothes not in a nasty sink (and they might pay you ;) win/win )

I was wearing boy briefs at age 12 and I would hand wash in the tub. I would dry them in my closet all the way in the back.
Around 16 I started to do my own laundry. It was easier because I had my own laundry day which was Mondays.
