This disclosure relates to the field of washing apparatus which are portable, and operable without a running source of water, and without a power source. The washing apparatus operates with a volume of liquid cleaner (water) and manual manipulation of a handle. The apparatus may also be dis-assembled by a user without tools for shipping or storage in a much smaller space.

Apparatuses and methods based thereon are provided for utilizing washing attachments in portable manner. A washing attachment may comprise a movement component and a washing component. The movement component is adapted to connect the washing attachment to a driving device that is operable to provide a driving force to the washing attachment. The washing component is adapted to fit within a space in the container when the washing attachment is applied to the container, and is configured to facilitate laundry washing within the space when the driving force is applied to the washing attachment. The washing component may be an auger component having a helical-shaped structure. The helical-shaped structure may comprise helical extensions (e.g., spiral blades) configured to generate washing movement in the space. When the driving device is a power drill, the helical-shaped structure may be designed such that the spacing between spiral blades of the structure is 0.9 inches.

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 washing machine which enables a user to effectively perform hand washing of washings in a washing and dewatering tank is disclosed. A full-automatic washing machine has: a washing and dewatering tank for performing washing and dewatering of washings; a water supply unit for supplying water into the washing and dewatering tank; a control part for controlling the water supply unit; an auxiliary washing plate which is detachably installed in the washing and dewatering tank and has a shape of concaves and convexes on an upper surface; and a hand washing water supply button which is operated when the auxiliary washing plate installed in the washing and dewatering tank is used for performing hand washing of washings. Here, the control part supplies water to the water supply unit based on a condition already operated on the hand washing water supply button.
