At Wheaton labs, I manually washed my clothing in two cycles with the same water and soap nuts, and then dried them on the nearby clothesline. Not all of the clothing on the line is mine, but I have nine large items, and several littles like panties/socks/brassieres. Final photo shows all dry and folded. Dry in 2 hours in 100+ degree weather! Clothesline design for my yard underway.

*note: the green skirt is 100% cotton, and is stored twisted like a yarn skein.  This is it "folded" =)

I washed two loads of laundry using the manual wringer/washer at the Wheaton Labs base camp. Then, hung dry on the lines between the Willow Feeder and Shower Shack.
