Adrian Paraz: soak the clothes in a bath hot water of salt and a lots of vinegar , and let them soak overnight .
Sharee Doak: Nope-once they are burned-that's it!Patch them or forget them!
Todd Stogner: That is when they did have them. Before that it was scrub tubs and sore knuckles, and clothes lines.
Jerrod Guilfoil: You could cover with some iron on patches.=)
Ronny Nowzari: Growing up we had a white kenmore washing machine and dryer. Top load. They were big. Or maybe they just seemed like that. We had mom dad and 4 kids so we always had laundry. We used this powered soap that came in a huge box. And regular Clorx bleach. towels in one bin. whites in another jeans in another and everything else in another. I had never been to a laundrymat until I was grown and had my first apartment. And thank heavens I have not been back. Things are pretty much the same now for me that I am grown with a family of my own. Except I have liquid soap and I love! my snuggle fabric softner. But the way my mother taught me is the way I do it now. OMG I even have the big white Kenmore toploader!...Show more
Jayson Brod: I got my new jeans, and i got some cigarette burns spots on them. Maybe there's some kind of solution to ..i dunno.. any ideas?
Booker Moros: Most had their own like they do today. If not then they went to a coin laundry mat.
Rodolfo Merel: some of the people had wash tubs in which was about 4 foot in circumference and they would boil the clothes and then rinse and wash the clothes in the same tube after changing the water.I remember some of the people in the 40 s and the 50 s cleaning their clothes with lye soap because there was no such thing as a sweet smelling soap or a mild soap for washing but they had these soaps for bathing.they would hang the clothes on the clothes line or on a fence. in the inner city, they hung the clothes to dry in the basement in the winter time because it was too cold o! utside.they would also hand the clothes from clothlines stretc! hing across the roof or across the window or the porch....Show more
Georgianna Zollo: We had a wringer washer and two giant tubs downstairs in the basement, we hung clorthes out on two clotheslines, unmentionables were hung in the basement. We did this for until 1972, Then I brought my mom and dad a washer dryer set and dad replumbed the kitchen so Mom didn't have to go downtairs to do the laundry anymore. Maytag, dryer lasted 35 years, washer 32.
Elaina Adolfson: By that time in America most everyone had a washer.Not always a dryer.We used a clotheline until they put a city ordinace against it.Our first washer was a Maytag wringer type.That would be an anquite today.No actually they ran pretty qiute and still do today.Now we have automatic washer and dryer.
Lahoma Beadell: The newest fad is to have holey jeans. Wash them and see if they fray, you should fit right in with the in-crowd. If the holes are in places you don't want the world to see, you will ne! ed to patch them.
Antonia Boomershine: Most people had washing machines and dryers. I remember that at our house we switched from a wringer washer to an automatic top-loader in about 1966, and since we were pretty short of money I imagine that if we had one, most people did by then.I honestly don't remember when we got a dryer.Top-loading washers were what everyone had then. Front-loaders for home use did not exist in North America. The top loaders we had were pretty much identical to the top loaders we have now, except the ones that have digital controls, and the higher end ones have more choices of cycle and so on. The only serious difference is that really old machines had a large agitator in them, which tended to beat up clothes a little more than the newer ones but I bought a newer-style washer with a small agitator in the mid 80s so they may well have been available in the 70s. I wouldn't know. I wasn't shopping for a washer in the 70s. They didn't make any more! noise than they do now. The brands are pretty much the same, too. Whir! lpool. Maytag, Westinghouse, Kenmore, GE. People who didn't have washers at home in the 70s went to a laundromat, exactly the way they do in 2014....Show more
Melissa Lavallie: oh my god it's sooooo hilarious that you think the 70's and 80's were the dark ages!!!!! tammara is right... appliances were made to last at least 20 years without so much as a burp and many went on decades beyond that. anymore now you're lucky to get 7 - 10 years out of an appliance and that's usually with at least a couple of service visits. another funny thing is that people think that front loaders are new technology. not so at all... they were used in laundromats for decades before they suddenly made their way into home markets.oh yeah... and cars were made a lot better then, too!!************ok, so many IGNORANT answers i just had to google it.http://www.washing-machine-wizard.com/washer-dryer..."In the mid-1840s, the first washing machine design was patented in the United States. ! The machine combined the wringer and the basin into one machine. The wringer was fixed on top of the basin, which was often raised from the floor.""During the early 1900s, many efforts were made to improve on early washing machine designs. As steam- and gas-powered engines started to be used for various other purposes, inventors and innovators decided to try and make powered laundry machines that would require little labor and handwork.""The result was the first electric clothes washer, which was released in America approximately at the turn of the 20th century. Later, a motor-powered machine built from sheet metal, iron, and wood was invented.""There are records that show that Louis Goldenberg invented the electric washing machine in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The patent may have been under Goldenberg or Ford Motor Company." THE TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT??? THAT'S THE EARLY 1900's. GET IT????? WELL OVER A CENTURY AGO. SO, YES - 70 OR 80 YEA! RS AFTER *THAT* WE HAD VERY MODERN WASHERS AND DRYERS. "In the late 197! 0s, shortly after the invention of the first microprocessors, the first microprocessor-controlled washing machine was born. This allowed for great flexibility, functionality, and effectiveness in laundry machines."SO... COMPUTERIZED WASHERS BY THE LATE 70's....Show more
Gale Hartt: OMG WASHING MACHINES??
Hans Sachetti: It's call a creek, or river or lake, a rock and a rope between 2 trees along with lye soap.
Idell Dufort: Same as now. Washer/ dryer. Probably till work because things were made to last way back then!
Maryland Gareau: That's not that long ago! Yes, most people had machines and dryers unless they lived in apartment buildings or other communal places like dorms. I quit using laudromats in 1970 when I moved into a home instead of a rental apartment. The small town I lived in had one laudromat, maybe 10 machines and a few dryers. Thinking back, my mother had a washer for many years, changing from the wringer type around 1952 but did no! t have a dryer until 1962. Up until then the laundry was done at home but hung outside to dry. In winter it was hung in the basement which was dry due to the big furnace occupying the center of the basement. Brands...my first washer was a Frigidaire......think more of refrigerators than washers. A friend's mother had a Kelvinator. Generally though we had GE, Speed Queen and later Kenmores. I had a Whirpool at one time and just got another one about a month ago....Show more
Mario Stricklan: Yes they do. Call ahead or go online; their advertisements usually list some sort of symbol that indicates laundry facilities are available. While they usually have a change machine, you might want to have a stockpile of quarters anyway. Some accept debit or credit cards. You can also look in the on-line yellow pages for the towns you'll be staying to find out the location of laundro-mats; which I'm assuming since you're asking this question, you might not realize exist: Place! s of business with coin-operated washing and drying machines. Have a go! od trip!....Show more
Pasty Cobbett: That happened to me the other day... I found a sweater in a box that water had fallen on, and caused mold on the sweater. The best thing to do is to put the dirty linens in the washer, with warm water, put a little extra detergent, and use clorox 2. That stuff is the best at removing stains. Good luck
Wilmer Skidmore: Okay, i have my own linen rental buisness and last week we had SO much work. We didnt wash some of our linens soon enough and they grew mold. Its a bunch of black/green/grey spots on the linens. We can not use bleach because they are colored. What can we use to get it out? these are VERY expensive and i dont want to throw them away.
August Hubbard: As a child of the 1970s, I can share my personal memories. My folks had a washing machine, which was pretty basic. I'm pretty sure it was an awful green color, and probably a Sears brand. No dryer in the house, instead a clothseline was used. Outdoors in th! e summer, in the basement in the winter.
Clement Viscarro: I got married in '76. Had my own washer and dryer, which was a Maytag. Sears were also pretty popular along with Hotpoint. And yes, Id say 98% had a dryer to go with the washer. It didnt make any more noise than the one I have now. Mine were white... but gold and green were pretty popular back then.
Bob Nakamoto: You either owned a washing machine or went to a laundry mat or had a laundry do it,. I had a combination washer dryer. It was a front loader and was really high end. My Grandmother bought it and then decided she hated it so I got it. You know that electric Washing machines were around in the early 1900's
Sherri Drakos: Check out the Simpson pope ringer washing machine on google !https://m.youtube.com/watch?autoplay=1&v=W5S3GveyC...Hope it helps (?) I recall using them in the land Downunder
Lynn Mctier: I'm at my wits end - yellow mould continually grows on my walls, especial! ly around the interior doorways and on some of my furniture. It's terrib! le in some areas, like my wardrobe (I leave the wardrobe doors open all the time to help the air circulate but it still grows just the same). I've tried using natural remedies like vinegar but it just grows back in a week or so and there are yellow stains where it was growing. It's so strange - it will grow on a particular shoe or piece of clothing but not on another right next to it! I'm about to have a baby and don't want him exposed to mould as I hear it's bad to breathe all the time?I try to have the doors and windows open as much as possible but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Help!!!...Show more
Keneth Mailhot: Susie answer is the best one
Rhett Kaines: The most common causes of mold include:Poor circulation of air.(invest in fans/and or ceiling fans)Poor lighting/low lighting. (Use a higher watt light bulb/lamps in these areas)Warm environment.High humidity. (get a dehumidifier)Damp areas. (figure out why these areas are damp and try to correct th! e problem by getting them dried out.) Once you get the mold cleaned up if you correct these problems that I have listed above you should not have problem with mold again.It sounds to me that you have to much moisture in your home. I would recommend you purchase a dehumidifier to help in solving your problem....Show more
Jules Ashbach: We bought an old house and had the same problem in the bedroom. We got Flash Mould and Mildew and sprayed the whole wall and wiped it off. That was 18 months ago and it hasnt returned
Cortez Badolato: I've been a housewife since 1966 so I have lots of clues. Washing machines were available along with dryers in the seventies through now. If you didn't have room for one in your home, and sometimes if you rented an apartment, the apartment would have a laundry room in the basement with coin operated machines and a table for folding the clean laundry.If there wasn't a laundry room in the apartment building, there were places called L! aundromats where you brought your laundry and did it there, also coin o! perated. You brought your own washing and softening agents, though some places sold them from machines.They looked very much as the look now, rectangular boxes with openings to put the clothes in.They made about as much noise as they do today, the brands were GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, as some of the more popular ones....Show more
Troy Monsivais: By hand
Pasty Cobbett: If people had their own home - then they all had a washer (top load only) and a dryer.
Efren Clankscales: Many people had washers and dryers. Some people just had washers and hung clothes up on lines to dry. Some people sent clothing 'out' to be laundered. Some people took clothing to laundromats to use coin-operated machines. Dormitories at colleges had coin-operated machines. The machines of that era were fairly quiet, but probably used more energy and water than current-day machines.
Marcia Cheathan: You can pick up a home humidity meter at any home supply store. It should be 20 - 40! % humidity in winter, no more than 60% in summer. If the numbers are higher then you should invest in a dehumidifier.You need to thoroughly wash any contaminated surfaces. Where practical then disinfect with bleach. I'm afraid to tell you but you might need to have your walls inspected - it might be growing from deeper than just the surface which could require actually replacing drywall. You should seek a professional opinion if the dehumidifier/cleaning doesn't work....Show more
Roosevelt Pendill: I was born in a small town in the Central Valley. In the 1930's all the homes in our neighborhood had clotheslines in the backyard: The lines were heavy steel wire strung tightly between two t-shaped steel posts at either end of our back lawn. My mother had a Maytag wringer tub washer in our screened porch. It sat next to a concrete stationary tub which we plugged and filled with rinse water when we did our laundry. We hung the unmentionables in the middle lines and! sheets on the outside lines.She kept that Maytag even after we moved 4! 00 miles to another city around 1950 and the washer was placed in the kitchen area next to a enameled cast iron laundry tub and near the door to the back deck. We lived in a flat over stores and we hung our clothes to dry on a collapsible umbrella clothes line which we took out and opened on the deck. About 1955, when a coin laundromat across the easement from our flat opened, we started using their coin washing machines. When I bought my own home in 1969, I installed a top loading Kenmore washing machine and matching gas dryer....Show more
An Trebil: Bleach is the only thing that I know of that will kill mold.
Chauncey Williama: They are permanent.
Joie Kemmis: My question to you is how did you get them on?
Hyo Hardell: DampRid makes a mold and mildew remover and protectorate for fabrics that will remove it, the smell and the spores so it won't grow back again. You can find it on the cleaning aisle at the Lowes home improvement stores. I've use! d it on all sorts of different fabrics and it won't damage the fabric or change the color.
Shan Lanen: they had buckets with water and detergents and hand washed them all? look how far technology has taken us
