I think the Warsh may be Appalachian in origin. Maybe the family grew up in eastern Kentucky or Tennessee and later moved to Alabama? I have heard Warsh used in Arkansas before east of Memphis. |

I hear "warsh" for wash and "wrench" for rinse up here in Michigan a lot - mostly by the old Poles and Germans.....and those of us who grew up in a Polish household :) -Sherri |

My grandmother and great aunts called these Conventional Washers or usually just The Conventional...Most of these women used these until the mid to late 60's. |
