After putting soap on clothings, I wash them with a bucket of water. Then my brother holds one end of the clothing and I hold the other end and then we both twist it so that water get removed from it.

[Note : I don't use washing machine. I manually wash my clothings, so first I put soap by moving my hands(holding soap) up and down against the clothings and the clothings would be full of foams. And in order to dispose off the foams, I wash the clothes using a bucket of water and finally I twist them to dispose off water in them.]


Please correct my sentences.

I've taken the liberty of pretty much rewriting your sentence to make it both understandable and more natural sounding.

I wash my clothes by hand using a bucket of water and soap. After washing, my brother and I each take one end of the garment and we wring the water out.

On the assumption that "wring" is a new word, here is a link to its definitions: http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=wring&gwp=13
