My Grandma used one of these, and a wringer. Never a problem, unless the wind blew really hard. The author is unknown.
Is a washboard better than a washing machine?
A washboard is better for hand washing/delicates than machine settings. It gets more dirt/grime out of socks and such. (Muddy or greasy clothes etc. People have laughed thinking it’s novelty and I’ve told them it’s necessary, usable, and well loved.Nov 11, 2022
We have 4 washboards. I have no idea what brand. Probably Lehmans or something. 4 different sizes/Guage or whatever. Came with the hillbilly house wifewashboard.

I remember my grandma using a washer she rolled outside on the porch and connected to the garden hose and ran a load and then put them through the wringer and then to the clothesline. Her house was near a railroad and back in the 50’s when she heard a train coming she would do Olympic style racing to the clothes lines to pull in her laundry before it got there and got soot all over her sheets and grandpa’s white dress work shirts.
My Dad eventually ran waterlines to one of the rooms in her house and cut a dryer vent so she could get a modern washer and dryer.
