Would you want your clothes washed w/ a cooking apron, pillowcases, towels (hand towels?,bath towels?), washcloths? --The table cloth?

No mention of "unmentionables"...

Is even this agitator-wash system THAT capable?!

I think around that time, that was the beginning of the end. Sears was at fault during the "Women's Lib Movement" for introducing the "Freedom Maker's". LOL.

But seriously, when I was in my late teens and early twenties people would give me weird looks when I would be doing a White Wash and Colors seperately when in the Laundromat.

I think women were just stuffing everything onto those Large Capacity machines just to get laundry out of the way because it was still "Their Job".

I am amazed when I see one of my employees come to work in what is suppose to be a white shirt and it's technicolor. ( Ya know, that whitish-grey with a hint of blue or another color that ran)

What's even worse I think are the guys that wear Black Shirts to hide stains, and they show up more pronounced on darker colors than white sometimes.

Yeah, that's not the way I was trained to do laundry either. Only whites were washed together in 160F water and underwear was not washed with kitchen linens. Play clothes and socks would have had to have been washed in cooler water because the colors and elastic would not have lasted at the high temps. Our Farah (sp?) cotton slacks were put on pants creasers after washing and nothing would remove those creases, unlike my friends' pants that had the creases iron in. Mine were bruised into the fabric. This was way before perma press.

A friend had a cute young waiter friend at a restaurant where we ate and I had to tell him about SHOUT for grease stains. He had really shortened the life of the white polo shirt he had to wear by bleaching it to try to remove the grease stains. In spite of that Clorox ad about "suds-proof dirt" bleach is not that effective on grease unless it is used with hot water and really strong detergent concentrations.
