  1. 1 way this method of washing clothes is different from how we wash today is because the people who lived long ago used buckets , these bumpy things to wash there clothes, and they also had to put the clothes through presses.
    Today we wash clothes by putting them in a washing machine, go to the dry cleaners, or if you don’t have a washing machine you can go in a washing room and then wash your clothes. One way of washing clothes is similar from today because you wash clothes in water.

  2. 1 Method is long ago people had to wash clothes by hand. They had to put it on the scrub board then they had to put it in the press. The press would take all the water out they would turn the wheel that’s how they washed clothes from long ago. Now people wash clothes by washing machines and dryer’s. Some people now go to washing stores. That’s 1 method for how we wash clothes from long ago and from today.
