Guest pelmetman Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Does anyone here know where we can purchase a washing stick? Its rather like a toilet plunger. I saw a German lady using one in Spain and thought it was brilliant. I might add that Dave has said we'll buy a portable washing machine but he has obviously got me trained well as it is my idea to buy the stick thingie. Sue

Bolly1965 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 a good old fashioned hardware shop may be able to help but i read somewhere that someone had made one by driling a couple of holes through a large sink plunger

Randonneur Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 The base used to be made of copper in a dome shape with holes in with a wooden handle.
