Wringer Washer

https://i.insider.com/5c98ecfc92c886...jpeg&auto=webp

I used one in the early 70s when I was in high school. Had to rinse each load three times so had to fill up the washer 4 times (to wash once, to rinse three times) for every load. Yes, it was better than having to wash clothes at the river, but it was laborious. I would sometimes add a drop or two of blue coloring to brighten my white clothes. Haven't done that in years.

Instead of filling & refilling the washer itself, my mom used a big wash tub with clear water for rinsing. Her system was whites, then towels, beddings, & last darks!

For sure one thing to be thankful for modern technology!

Why would one make a koozy from aluminum foil? Would it not conduct heat in a similar way to the can as they're the same metal? I might use the kitchen dish towel. It may insulate better.

Would it not conduct heat in a similar manner to the can as they're the same metal? Those are some cute cookies, though.

I might use the dishtowel. Seems like it would hold the chill in better.

I don't know from conducting heating, science was never my strong suite but I know we did the same with wrapping soda in foil. My mom went a step further and always then took a sheet of newspaper to wrapped over the foil...:hangloose:

No matter how hard me and my sister pleaded our requests for Tide or Cheer fell on deaf ears when it came to mother's use of Fels Naptha!

Luckily, for us, she only used to bar soap to scrub the linoleum floors.
