I loved the way you showed clothes wringing from both sides of the wringer. Looking forward too your next full washday vid. Thanks for sharing
More to come! Just waiting for summer to get here - not sure it is remembering us this year.
Your worth the wait good lady.its triple digits here were I live. Stay Blessed, healthy.
Beautiful washing machine! And so easy to reuse the water in the garden.
Thank you. My garden was very happy to have me doing laundry this summer.
Great laundry vid, and a very healthy garden, good job. could you do a longer laundry video ,thanks for sharing this one with us .Stay Blessed and healthy.
That's a great idea! I'll put it on my list for next summer.
Lovely video, well done. Pouring the the water on the garden was a perfect ending.
Glad you enjoyed it
I remember my mom using one and i thinks we need to bring them back! Clothes don’t get clean unless you catch it before it spins and start the wash cycle again😀
I love how much cleaner it gets the clothes than the modern washing machine. Smells better too.
Very satisfyingly to watch..... someone else doing it LOL
It may be neat and great in a warm climates, but I've been there, done that, grew up with it, and will pass on it. I remember only too well the winter laundry days.
Glad you enjoyed it!
There are many aspects I love about garden laundry, but I wouldn't want to do it in winter (the garden doesn't need watering then anyway).
@@CrowingHen LOL, Thank you! I'm glad you understood my "Winter fun".🌻
Beautiful video! My grandmother had a manual wringer, you had to turn a crank.
So happy I don't have to turn this one by hand. But it would be a nice feature if I ever get off-grid.
Ah I had one of these ( mine was an old Hot Point) in Seattle for years. Put it in storage when I moved to Ireland and sold it when we decided to make the move permanent. I couldn’t afford to ship it with the huge weight and wasn’t sure I could find a step down converter for that would be suitable. I miss it all the time 🥲 it would have been especially useful for my felting work. Ah well. I have a hand crank mangle now that sits on a utility sink. It’s useful, if jot as beautiful.😊
When I was a kid, 5 or so, I went to put cloths through the wringer and my hand got pulled in. My aunt flipped the release on the top pretty fast.
Oh noses! That's scary stuff. So glad the release worked. I'm not entirely sure mine does and it's a worry.
Nice!
Thanks!
now that I found your channel I subscribed
Thanks.
Where are your rinse tubs? You are supposed to have rinse tubs to rinse in after you wash. Also, to save water and soap you are supposed to start with light color clothes and progress to dark, washing a number of loads in the same water. Too, start with the water in the machine before adding the clothes, that way you get your soap stirred up well. I have been washing on a wringer for nearly 60 years.
If I ever own enough clothes again, I would go back to doing it that way, but the way I do it works well for me.
I’d like to ask what do you use to wash? What do you put in the water? Thank you so much for the video!
I washed the laundry with biodegradable laundry soap.
thanks for watching
Beautiful video. How do you find a machine that old that actually works? And how do you repair it and get parts for it if it breaks?
The old machines were built to be repaired often at home or at the local repair shop. No special equipment or skills needed.
This one only needed a bit of a clean to get it going. It will need some grease and service with a few years of use and the seal is going on the drain so that needs replacing.
These are very repairable. I bought one from a woman in Oregon and even at nearly 100 years old and a frayed cord still worked. The drain pump had to be rebuilt and with a new impeller but the housing is not plastic. Quite to the contrary, they outlast any new washers you just have to know where to get grease and belts for the pulley. Replacing the core is a breeze, the only downfall is they would use wooden blocks inside the wringer to absorb the water and hold the wringer rollers in place. You’ll have to get new ones carved out if the old wood is rotting.
How do you wash in the winter? Snow freezing temperatures?
The winter is our rainy season so the garden doesn't need watering. I wash the laundry inside.
The machine has wheels!
When I was little (1950s ) in winter, Mom had a clothes line strung up in basement. She used the washer/ wringer there.
@@sherannemcgill7139 I have bad allergies so I am indoors a lot and I hang my laundry inside. Works great. Happy New Year.
Are your clothes ichy? Do they smell? Because you have it outside with those stinky chickens and their dirt baths throwing dirt all over the place.
Nope.
Fresh sunlight and air make the clothes feel and smell lovely.
Chickens are several yards away and down wind.
@@CrowingHen I'm allergic to all scented products/man-made scents and I too learned how drying outside when I was younger, before my allergies, made it all smell amazing. Love this video!
