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.

Wow - brings back memories. Clothespins were always kept in the bag that could be hung on the line after you cleaned it! Hated hanging sheets out when it was freezing and worst was bringing in frozen sheets. Don't miss that.

Remember cooking starch? My dh was in the Army and wanted his uniforms (fatigues) to be stiff as a board and the ony way was using the starch that you cooked.

Rules of the clothesline
 

I was taught these rules at a very young age... especially when I was tall enought to reach the lines.

Actuallly, we have only had a clothes dryer for the past 4 or 5 years...And Yes I love having a dryer... still use our clothesline for skinny jeans ..
