How come I can clean some clothes but not all. For example I used washboard and detergent to wash army pants but winter army pants does not appear in the list. More soap? What`s the deal?

Some harder items, like those made of plastic or kevlar, will require a washing kit to clean. It’s basically just a washboard combined with a rag or a sponge. You can use it to clean every filthy item in your possession, there’s basically no reason not to craft it.

Hard object: just use a rag and some detergent/soap.
