what about laundry options if there's no electricity

Hi everyone,
During the months before Y2K, I started thinking about how I would wash
clothes if there was no electricity. Our water comes to our house via two
electric pumps and we have an electric washing machine. What is the best way
to wash laundry (for a family of 8) if you have no power? I don't want to
invest in anything expensive at this point, just something I could have on
hand. I read one article that said you shouldn't use a washboard at it tears
up the clothes and wears them out over time. Would just a couple of
stainless steel tubs work? What is the best soap for handwashing? Any help
is appreciated, Lisa
