ABC'S OF WASHING MACHINES
A Little History
The next time you complain about washing and folding your clothes, be grateful for the simplicity that
modern technology has afforded you. If you feel that doing laundry is an unpleasant, arduous task, imagine
what it was like to wash clothing prior to the advent of the washing machine. To say that hand washing one's
laundry took hours of heavy labor is quite an understatement.
Centuries ago, clothing had to be washed, boiled and rinsed by hand, with each load using approximately
50 gallons (or 400 pounds) of water. The water itself had to be transported from a well or pump to one's sink or
stove in heavy, cumbersome wash boilers and buckets. Women had to lift, wring and rub water-laden linens and
clothing, which, in turn, exposed them to hazardous substances and tired their wrist and arm muscles.
Drying the laundry – transporting baskets full of sopping wet dresses, pants and tablecloths to hang in the
afternoon sunlight – and ironing clothes through the use of heat from a kitchen stove, were other unfavorable
tasks, but for now, we will just address the actual act of washing clothing.
Given the tedious process described above, it comes as no surprise that inventors set out to create the first
"washing machines," which were patented in America in 1846. The earliest manual machines used a lever to
rub clothing between two surfaces, mimicking the motion of one's hand running up and down a washboard.
Then in 1900 came the first electric washing machines, which relied upon motorized tub rotation.
