Hey mates I'm going to be living in the desert a while I have body soap and shampoo but no detergent how can I wash my clothes I do have access to a water source although it's a river so it's not entirely clean looking for advice and ideas?
Dunk your clothes in the river, wring out some of the water. Do this a few times and then let your clothes dry.

This. Detergent is a meme.
I don't know how washboards work (like what you need to go with them) but I know they've been used for a long time.

soap in tiny amounts works. also, just soaking your clothes in clear water, wringing, then sun drying works. the sun is a miracle. it can clean all kinds of stuff. you can purify water with sunlight in a 2liter coke bottle.
How the fuck do you know how to punctuate and the correct usage of a question mark, but you have no knowledge of periods or commas. I hope you die of dehydration.

I literally strip down to a sarong and a wide brim hat.
Idk how pale are you, you might burn with my advice.
I recommend for cleaning cloth to use smoke cleaning with herbs and enough water to then wring out the excess. But also just be active around sun up and sunset, don't waste energy and water during peak heat.

That is disgusting as fuck. If you're gonna hand wash shit, at least put in some effort and not be the lazy slob that you are.

Lye soap. It's pretty much just wood ash and possibly some other ingredients. Not sure of the specifics on how to make it.
For starters you don't need separate body wash, shampoo and laundry soap. You can do all that with Castile soap. You can meme it up with Dr. Bronner or you can buy a generic brand off amazon, either way a big bottle will last you a long time.
To wash you clothes, get either a tub and washboard or you can use a dry bag with some smooth river stones in it.
