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.

Of course, it's a lot more work too.
