Our washing goes out on clothes line or dried inside on an air dryer

They used the blue because it muted out the yellow ting the clothes had from soaps and in some cases urine

I was a laundry maid for a casino hotel in 1999.

Thank you. Very educational video.

How do you use a copper boiler and routine for wash day

[@TravelingMan63]

I'd take my shoes off, rinse my feet, lift my dress up and stomp on the laundry with my bare feet.

Instead of: “Only girls could be laundry maids in Victorian times.” It is more correct - better - to put it thus:
“In Victorian times, only girls could be laundry maids.”
