Vintage Maytag wringer washer - wash action (collage)
Просмотров 38614 дней назад
I’m out of town at the moment on business, but I wanted to put something together for you guys. So I took a collection of some of the wash videos, I’ve done most recently and made a wash action mashup/collage. I think it illustrates beautifully how a vintage washing machine like this could clean your clothes. Much more thoroughly than our modern day washing machine. Hope you enjoy.

Washing clothes in a vintage wringer washer (and baking a batch of peanut butter cookies too).

I’ve got about a week’s worth of washing to do and I can do it quickly here in the wringer washer. When I started the machine, I got a taste for some peanut butter cookies and I figured, with the oven right there, I might as well whip up a batch. Turns out, I was actually in over my head a little bit because the machine washes so fast, there hardly is any time to do anything else. Here is the r...

3 partial loads of wash in my Maytag E2L wringer washer
Просмотров 6422 месяца назад
I washed 3 partial loads of wash in my vintage Maytag washing machine. It took me about an hour to do all 3. In my opinion, this 80yr old washer is a great time saver and it is an awesome option for anyone that doesn’t have a laundry room. In a way, it is the REAL high efficiency washing machine. I have many more videos coming so please like and subscribe to my new channel. Thanks for watching!

    General Comment . Old washing machine or anything else that kasts a long time and easily fixed is all well andvgood. But the problem I have is genuine technology obsolescence. Do these old washers ir even old automatic washers which don't have a wash and wear cycle. Do they work with permanent press clithes. Dies hanging laundry in a coosevoine or okd style dryer work with permanent press. Because if they don't now have to iron which defeated the ourpose of permanent press. Well the way Zi see it. If yhese old methods of doing laundry don't we ork with permanent press. It doesn't matter how they are otherwise. Because they do do the most critical thing about laundry which is washing and drying permanent press. Because as nearvad i can tell permanent press is the only way clothes are made.

    Wait a good long hard minute. Isn't this the old hard way to do laundry.Akl that handling of the clothes and ironing. Do these methods work with wash and wear. Drip dry. Permanent press. The only way I know to laundry this type modern clothes is with modern washing machines and dryers with special cycles. No ironing just hang clothes up riight away ehen dryer shuts off My family been doing laundry modern way since 1963.

      Thanks for the comment. I think the automatic clothes washing machine is one of the greatest inventions man has ever made. It is work to operate the ringer washer, but the nice thing is, it doesn’t have to be a single person job. On days when I need to get the washing done and hung out, the ringer washer is my go to. If I have time (or don’t have time) to wait on the automatic clothes washer, then sometimes I’ll use that. I actually still use it to spin the clothes out from the ringer washer. It helps get much more water out of the clothes so that when I hang them out, they dry in a reasonable amount of time. I was raised on hanging clothes out, so that’s something I don’t mind. I don’t really have room for a clothes dryer, here where I live currently, but I like those too.

    Absolute best way to wash clothes for many reasons! Only washer I knew to wash socks white-as-new. (Must have the right sink or tubs for draining, however.)

      Well.., it’s old, so it may need a little more grace. Lol I’d try turning the transmission pulley by hand. If it turns, I’d probably try changing the belt. All the rubber on mine was dry rotted when I got it, so I replaced what I could. That made a big difference. I have another video on the repairs I made on this washer. Glad you’re happy with it and thanks for the compliment!

    I'm halfway there. I recently began using an indoor hang/flat dry system using a simple floor fan and racks. I'm only using my dryer now for the air fluff cycle to loosen up my air-dried towels. My HE washer spins out the water very well. I wish I had ditched the clothes dryer years ago.

    May consider doing this one day. However, I’ll only use brand name detergent like Tide powdered detergent since it’s not as caustic and corrosive as store brand detergent, I know from experience since I’ve dealt with repairing rust on my ‘63 Whirlpool Mark 12 washer. Most store brand detergent tends to gum up, especially at lower temperatures, unfortunately if enough of it builds up on the outer surfaces of the outer tub especially if it’s metal, it will hold in moisture which will eventually rust out the outer tub which is no good.

  • @frothe42

    I agree that simple is sometimes better! I use a very compact top loading tumble washer as well as a spin extractor. I set aside at least one day to wash clothes; Darks, lights, towels, bath rugs, bed linens. Warm and cool wash (not tap cold, I want those clothes to come out clean and for the detergent to be effective in its cleaning). Dark detergent for Darks, my other detergents for cottons, linens and towels, wool & cashmere shampoo for those woolen and cashmere. Cleaning products from The Laundress. Why? Because I spent good money on my clothing, I not only want it clean, I want it to last, to feel good. All clothing, including socks, are hung on drying racks; only towels go into a dryer because I hate the scratchy feeling of line dry towels.

      Really? What about all that handling of the clothes.Lots of muscle work. Do ringer washer methods work with permanent press wash and wear drip dry modern clothes? Or do you have to iron afterwards. My family never did laundry the ringer washer was. None of the relatives or friends did either. I don't know of anybody using ringer washers. I have never encountered ringer washers either when visiting. The only place I have seen them with my own eyes is in museum.

    I have an old One Minute Wringer washer. It does look pretty, but I only want to use it in a pinch because things get caught a lot in the wringers including my hair. I prefer an automatic washer with low tech dials. I think what I would do is use my automatic washer as my rinse/ spin rather than the wringers at least on loads that are very filthy and I don't want to dirty up my new washing machine. It would make it go faster and safer for my hair.

    That's so cool! I couldn't find anything like that that I could afford when I was shopping for a way to wash my laundry about a month ago. So I was my clothes in the back yard with a wash board, a scrub brush, and an old style hand Crank wringer. For as family of five, I do a load every day to keep it from taking all day. I actually really like it. My clothes get cleaner, and over found that since I started starting my day with actual hard work, my days are more productive. It's like I got the ball rolling and I just keep it going.

The other benefit is that they don’t have any electronics. I also would like to have a old time vehicle that you have to manually roll the windows up and down. The only thing that is electric is the alternator that produces the electricity.

      Leaving clothes soaking wet would make items heavy on the clothesline. Some things might fall off due to their weight with water in them and it would take maybe a day or two to dry them out. I recommend buying a spin dryer to go with this operation.
