I'm trying keep the rubber in good condition, so I've got into the habit of washing down with warm clean water and taking off the pressure after each use. The first safety razors for men were sold in 1901. Women first began to shave under their arms in the 1910s. The first razor for women was introduced in 1915. True, a washer-and-dryer combo will get your laundry done much faster, but they can be rough on your garments, shortening their lifespan.

In the 19th century, most homes also had a scullery. In it was a ‘copper’, a metal container for heating water for washing clothes. The copper was filled with water and soap powder was added. To wash the clothes they were turned with a wooden tool called a dolly. Or you used a metal plunger with holes in it to push clothes up and down.

NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives I've taken to doing a bit of dyeing while I'm out doing the laundry too and that gets another job done which I would not usually have/make time for. I did start a spreadsheet to try to figure out if it would be a better use of my time to earn the money to run the machine or to do it by hand. It worked out at 8 hours a year more work to do it by hand, but this did not take into account the embodied energy of the systems or the freedom from consumerism, which is worth more than 8 hours a year to me. Forgot to say, you could get a cheap lettuce dryer/spinner thing - you can fit a few smalls in there. It does work!

His mother was a tiny lady with massive hands from all the hand work she did, including turning mangle, wringing by hand etc. OH's grandmas were the same.Consider, too, that there are some items you won’t want to put through a mangle. Because they exert quite a bit of force, they can break delicate buttons or snaps. They’ve also been known to bend bras out of shape, specifically the underwire or closure hooks. You may wish to hand wring these items, instead. You can roll them up in a towel and squeeze gently, which will remove the extra moisture faster and with less stress on delicate items.
