Was the lint filter in this machine a tray or screen that needed to be manually removed for cleaning? Thanks! | ||

I believe that the lint filter rode on the agitator. | ||

WonderRinse = Fabric softener or conditioner if you will.
Pipe: www.automaticwasher.org/c... Hotpoint solid tub washers of this vintage already had an overflow and spray rinse. Both used together should more than sufficed. | ||

P&G released Downy in 1960. However prior to that event fabric softeners/conditioners had long been available to commercial/industrial laundries. There likely were some sort of product already on market for domestic use before P&G's Downy arrived, otherwise where would Hotpoint get that "WonderRinse" solution.
A.E. Staley had Sta-Puf fabric "rinse" softener on market early as 1954 When detergents began largely replacing soap on wash day it brought many benefits. However you lost that natural side effect from using soap; a bit of it always remains which leaves things soft and or fluffy. Soap and early fabric softeners had one thing in common; tallow and other fats are used to create. White King, Ivory Snow and other soap products touted they left laundry softer than detergents.

Pre-Downey Economics Labs, makers of Electrasol & Finish dishwasher detergents, as well as a host of commercial detergents, introduced Rinse Rite for the Hotpoint Wonderinse units in the late 50's. Like many dishwasher detergents, it was sold through appliance dealers. Retail price 89 cents = $8.58 today. | ||

Final Touch Laundress, I loved final touch. Nice crisp scent and didn't feel as waxy as downy. Would love to see that make a comeback. The name was brought back but the product didn't behave like the original. :-( | ||

I really liked Rain Barrel, the fabric softener that Johnson's made in Racine, Wisconsin. | ||
