I used to wonder what kind of washer certain people had as I looked at the cleanliness of their clothes and home. Yes and what kind of detergent they used. I used to find that the cleanest clothes and me finding out what kind of washer they had was either Kenmore or Whirlpool. I do remember a neighbor having very very white clothes on her line.. I did some investigating and I found out it was a vintage Maytag automatic and..... Wisk detergent, Arm&Hammer Super washing soda. So in that I found a school friend with really wrinkled but clean clothes who did not have dryer of iron.. I found out they had a G.E. Filter Flo straight vane washer. So what really fooled me was another school friend that has yellowed shirts but his mom used cold water Rinso and 1970's Norge washer? I am wondering has anyone ever wondered this? :-)

Oh Paul my man, you are not alone. Just in my neighborhood on my street, I knew every kind of washer owned by every household. And the detergent they used. On Saturday mornings I was like a stalker going from one utility room to the other. The ladies all knew me and indulged me and my fascination with their washing machines. Such are my memories. I did note that the cleanliness of the clothes on the line directly correlated to the machine and detergent used. There was one woman that was terrible about stuffing and packing Her Easy topldr. It almost brought me to tears and I had to bite my tongue more than once to keep from speaking out. So NO. You are not alone and in good company with me. Thanks for sharing. |
