I remember those. They were offered in even in the 70s for machines with control panels. I think they had one for wringers too. Hopefully, people let their washers air prior to covering them with these.

Keep the bride's maidenhead machines of honor pure and covered, and let the bridesmaid's be filthy sluts without protection, sure, thats what I get out of the ad. Eliteist capital society promoting coverups for the very rich, indeed! I wonder if the bridegroom had a special drill press cover at Sears called the best man?

Aunt Mary had those covers for both her Westinghouse washer and dryer. It did not harm the dryer but I believe having a cover helped the washer be a Rustinghouse as it never really dried out. Some cheap car covers are like that too, and they can rust away a car. The more expensive kind let moisture escape.

yes, Neptune

ive seen vinyl washer/refrig covers on ebay. BAD IDEA. even if you air out, the pump still has water, and some other parts too. get a vinyl washer/fridge cover if you like rust!

In an era when every good housewife was supposed to have a spottless home, free of dust and with gleaming surfaces; one supposes these covers functioned much like other items places over surfaces to collect dust. These covers came for all sorts of appliances including ironers.

Supposed if the washer was used often enough and not shut up for several days at a time, it *might* be fine.
