CRAZY ??? I never understand it.
I remember the wringer washer very well. I also remember the starch bucket. One of my stuffed animals fell in it! My mom would sprinkle my dad's white shirts for church and put them in the refrigerator. Then when we got to be about 11-12 my dad made us iron the shirts so we could learn to iron. In the winter my mom hung the clothes on lines in the basement.
