The first sentence of that advertisement reads:
"No matter how wonderfully an automatic washer may wash clothes, it's really no more efficient than it's rinsing action." I couldn't agree more with that statement. Nu-Soft was the first fabric softener to be marketed in the US, introduced sometime in 1956. | ||

that would be a neat machine to have today....no running to the washer to add fabric softener, just fill the dispentser, push the button and done....I never heard of NuSoft....we used either Downy,Sta Puff,Final Touch or the long gone favorite of my mother which was Rain Barrel! | ||

an afterthought maybe...just MAYBE, one of those machines is still out there somewhere, waiting to be claimed and restored....now THAT would be a Holy Grail machine in my book | ||

Grails for sure Interesting that Hotpoint TOL's back in 1957 featured 2 separate cycles, Normal and Gentle, whereas the Hotpoints in the late Sixties offered only one cycle. I realize that, in the earlier machines, the slower speed was cycle-controlled, but the shorter periods of agitation and spin were significant too. | ||
