Re: washing machine suggestions
 

Does it need washing?

Re: washing machine suggestions
 

Dry clean only. :)

Re: washing machine suggestions
 

Ah, environmentally friendly. Uses no water.

Re: washing machine suggestions
 

Yes if a volunteer can be found to clean it.

:rofl:

Actually I can remember my grandparents having one of those scrubbing boards and a mangle in their back yard.

Re: washing machine suggestions
 

That's all my mother had.
I used to turn the wringer (mangle) handle for her as she fed the washing through.

Re: washing machine suggestions
 

Wouldn't those things have broken a lot of buttons?

Re: washing machine suggestions
 

I don't remember but the rollers were not rock hard.
They did give a bit so were made of a hard rubber I guess.

Re: washing machine suggestions
 

Yes I vaguely remember the rollers being coated in something rubbery. Surprised your mum still used those things. But I can remember a time when it was fairly common for people not to have washing machines. Most used to do their washing at the laundromat. Almost every parade of shops used to have a laundromat once.

That's just reminded me of the forerunners to the twin tub machines that also came with an electric mangle. My dear old nan had one of those too. :D She was quite a gadget freak in those days :wub:
