When I was teen my Mom bought a Maytag wringer washer like this one, only the newer 1968 version with the turquoise agitator. We used either Tide or Cheer as a rule, and chlorine bleach for the whites. I never saw the aluminum tub get any darker than it was when we first got it. And just like Tom writes above we took the agitator off and rinsed out the tub after using it and let it dry with the wringer rolls opened apart. And like e2l-arry says, IT'S A WASHING MACHINE, use it like it was intended to be used. If the tub gets dull, just polish it if you like it to be shiny.
Now enjoy this wonderful Maytag, they were built to last and do a great job. Eddie |

The aluminum dulled slightly but never became rough, dark or corroded. After use the washer tub was rinsed and allowed to air dry with the lid open. Rarely used bleach. Bluing was used in rinsing whites. |
