Allah's blessings on our home and our washing machine

Seven months of hand washing makes me so thankful for a spin cycle and so enthralled with agitation. Allah bless Whirlpool. We finally got a washing machine in our house. It's a bit of a process, until we get a plumber to hook us up to the pipes:


  1. Fill left side with clothes, soap and water (this is done with a bucket from the bathroom sink).
  2. Watch the agitation. Fun. Only optional.
  3. Drain water back into bucket and dump into bathtub.
  4. Add more water and agitate again for rinsing.
  5. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
  6. Put clothes into right side for spinning. Make sure you get them balanced, or the machine will try to escape out the front door. It doesn't like to be off balance.
  7. Hang clothes on the line and they'll be dry in about an hour.

Okay, so it sounds more complicated than handwashing. But trust me, it beats having bloody knuckles from washing towels.
