Hand washing is not always better than machine washing, but when it comes to stains it is likely a better choice. Machines use hot water, which can set some stains, and wash many clothes at once, which can re-deposit stains on another piece of clothing. Hand washing allows the washer to treat each stain depending on the type of stain and the fabric.

Does a washing machine clean clothes better than washing by hand?
yes. a hundred times better. Actually not necessarily. Washing by hand works extremely well if done properly. In fact, a company named Dyson in the UK actually designed a washing machine which better imitates the hand washing action to get the clothes cleaner. People tend to assume that just because something is automatic it works better, but this is not always true. Washing by hand does a much better job of flexing the fabric. Of course, it's a lot more work too.
