A spin cycle mobile washer (SCMW) for manually washing laundry comprises a portable, wheeled frame (F) supporting an axle (A) on each end of which is mounted a wheel (W). A shaft (RS) rotatably mounted on the axle rotates as the axle rotates. An inner wash tub (IWC) is mounted on a rotatable disc (RD) to which one end of the shaft is connected for rotation of the shaft to effect rotation of the tub. This tub has a plurality of paddles (P1-P3) attached to an interior surface so to agitate laundry to be cleaned which is loaded into the tub. This tub is fitted inside an outer wash tub (OWC) with the inner wash tub having openings therein by which water flows through and between the tubs for movement of the wheeled frame by a user to affect the cleaning of laundry.

A laundry system can include an input shaft, an output actuator, and a motion converter connected between the input shaft and the output actuator. The motion converter can be configured to convert rotational motion of the input shaft to linear motion of the output actuator. The system can include a laundry agitation arrangement connected to the output actuator to be linearly actuated by the output actuator to agitate laundry.

A laundry system can include a rotational motion chamber configured to be actuated rotationally and an agitation chamber configured to receive one or more washable articles. The agitation chamber can be disposed within the rotational motion chamber. The agitation chamber can be configured to be actuated linearly within the rotational motion chamber independent of the rotational motion chamber in a first state, and can be configured to be engaged to and rotated by the rotational motion chamber in a second state.
