It's laundry day at Saturation Hall, and so Maude, dressed in Hugo Boss jeans, white t-shirt over a black bra top, and black and white Converse basketball boots, is all set to hand wash all the outfits used in messy scenes the day before. Except of course before she can wash the clothes, she must be fully soaked herself. So she grabs the running warm water hose, and shoves it down her own jeans, front and back, and lets us watch as the water soaks her. She hoses her t-shirt down too. And then she gets to work!
What follows is over forty minutes of Maude washing buckets, boots, and a tub full of wet gungey clothes, in the course of which she is constantly getting herself soaked and soaked again. She spends a fair bit of time with her feet and lower legs in a tub of soapy water, happily giving herself drenching after drenching as she works through the washings, and then eventually empties all the tubs of water over herself to finish off.

Thanks both! And indeed, a great job, fun too, and doesn't she look stunning in those vintage Hugo Boss jeans?
There's actualy a back-story to this one, we were doing a full weekend of dungeon messy shoots when the washing machine abruptly conked out on the evening of the first day. So we had to find a way to wash the worst of the residual custard off the various outfits so they could then be left in tubs till we got a replacement machine installed - and this was the solution, getting Maude to wash everything with shampoo and using herself as the washing machine. We paid her the standard messy shoot rate, rather than the lower wetlook rate, for this one, and she did an amazing job. The clothes did still need to go through the replacement machine before they could be worn again but Maude's work ensured they didn't go rancid while waiting for it to be installed. Downside of living on a country estate in the middle of the Dales, deliveries tend not to be "next day", and we'd had no warning the old machine was about to pack up. Still, can't complain, old one did us 17 years, and washed a lot of very heavily messy outfits. Be interesting to see if the new one lasts as long.
