More or less yes, but getting it dry will take longer.
Soaking the stain in water asap (before it dries) will go a long way.
Yes you can but stains can be difficult and you might get better results using specific strategies depending on the type of drink.

You want the clear bottle with the yellow liquid. It says formulated to clean carpets and more. But is is awesome for anything
This was how people washed clothes before modern laundry machines.
That method would not wash anything more than a little sweat.
I hand washed my laundry for a couple of months at one point. You will be surprised at how difficult it is to get soap out. It’s not worth it if you have any other option.
For one shirt it cant be murder
No, not if you’re only doing it once. I’d still just run it through the wash with whatever I happen to have dirty. It would be more water efficient.
I kno but im talking about like when ive just already done laundry and i still fuck up and spilll something and dont want to spend more on laundry
Its not just money too, its a huge pain in the ass and something i need to sctively oversee
Gotcha. It’s doable, yeah. I can’t recommend a specific product for getting the stain out, but you would probably want to use some cheap powder washing detergent. Dawn soap would probably work. That stuff seems to work for anything.
remember that the washing machine agitates the water and the fabric to lift everything off. The soap makes the water lose it’s surface tension so it coats over everything.
historically, people would wring and slap garments over rocks or whatever and rinse them into the stream or pool. (or have concrete basins with sides meant for exactly that.) then we developed things like the washboard that let laundry be done in a tub.
so, yes. you could do laundry this way. Though, if you’re looking for specific products to help with stains… my mom always suggests rubbing Fel’s Naptha onto the stain (wet,) and then scrubbing it out. (or prepping and putting it in the laundry for not-set-stains.)
Wonder how much an ok washboard goes for
I sometimes need to do similar things on work trips. Hand soap is alright, but it’s more effective to use soap meant for handwashing clothes.
Tip: Squeezing your socks between 1Kg bags of dessicant in a hot and dry place is an excellent way of drying them quickly.
I hand wash any clothes that require it, and I had to get out blood and such at times. I recommend gall soap for that first, then wash. You should not use generic soap though, as it foams too much. If you have any washing detergent available use just a little and hand wash, then rinse thoroughly.
