Laundry Always Filthy using Washtub??

Thanks so much @crocobaura, @Atreya33, @aveniceglass & @lisamwitt!!! I've been playing this game for years & totally forgot about the wishing well and the ponds. Really appreciate the feedback.

So it just turned winter in my game & my Sims can gather water from the snow (not sure if that's new or not). But the laundry is no longer filthy....which is good. Still not getting pristine but it's Clean....so I'm decent with that lol. I think I'll try @aveniceglass idea of putting clothes on the ground and washing again.

It's so funny because my Sims have only had washer and dryers since Laundry Day came out....so they've been spoiled...me the player spoiled, haha. I don't think I've ever used the washing tub before, definitely not played off the grid before, so I'm enjoying this challenge. Thanks to everyone for enlightening me on objects that I've had in game this entire time and forgot about :)

@Sha2520032003 Those things were updated in the latest pre-release patch for Eco Living back in early June. You wouldn't have been able to use the Wishing Well, pond, or winter snow to gather water before that.
