Hey everyone!!! I have been asked to do a wringer washer demonstration at a farm on Oct. 1st (2005, lol.) Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how to do it, I'll be bringing my Maytag manual for assistance, but that's not always enough. I'll be doing laundry in a MINT and I mean M I N T condition late 70's to early 80's Maytag Wringer square tub with pump!!! Anyway, any hints would be greatly appreciated!!!! Oh! Also, does nayone have any idea on how much the machine might be worth?

You'll surely want to wear some sort of apron, as wringer washing like using a twin tub is very splashy. Remember to keep your hair and bosom (whoops, forgot)well away from the wringer, and watch those fingers. Would be a good idea to leave rings, and other such items at home. If you really want to go the whole hog, bring along some Fels soap and show how it was sliced up into slivers and put into the washing tub. Don't forget bluing for the final rinse. You might wish to add that many housewives didn't chuck wash or rinse water down the drain. Floors and porches were washed, and lawns gardens watered. Best of luck, Launderess |

Pulsator-- If you aren't afraid of substantial physical pain and possible broken bones, be sure to get a hand caught in the rollers----going up just past the wrist area should be sufficient for demonstration purposes. Then you can wave your fingers out the other side of the rollers. I guarantee this will elicit a strong reaction from your audience. ;) (Before anyone calls the out the nice young men in their clean white coats, I am kidding, of course. Kids, don't try this at home! Have a great demonstration, Pulsator!) |

A friend of mine used to be a appliance repairman and he said he could always tell when people used Tide, because the machine parts were always eaten up. |
