Portable Compact Mini Twin Tub Washing Machine and Spin Cycle w/ Hose, 13lbs. Capacit

[frater secessus]

OK, picked up a salad spinner at a thrift store for 25 cents.  

Washed 4 days of socks (3pr shorties, 1pr crew)  and underwear (boxer briefs) in a bucket with a Breathing Mobile Washer plunger-style thingy.  The washer works great, by the way.  After washing I hand-squeezed the items tightly, and wrung them gently.  

The socks balanced and spun easily.  Underwear required 2-3 attempts to get them balanced enough to spin decently.

Wrung weight --> spun weight:

• socks batch - 18.4oz --> 15.7oz = 2.7oz additional water spun out
  
• underwear batch - 28.1oz --> 25.8oz = 2.3oz of additional water spun out
  

I suspect in the desert stuff dries so fast the water reduction would be unimportant.  In areas of higher humidity it might make some difference.
