I remember those big iron pots with a fire burning under them too. I can’t really remember any of my aunts using them but my mom had some kind of tub with a wringer at the top.

Wash day was Monday and ironing day was Tues. On Mon. we always ate what mom called wash day beans. Tough life and it hasn’t been that long ago.

LOL. My little sister (60 years old now) got her arm caught in that wringer and I saved her by hitting the 'quick-release' mechanism. Clothes washing was women's work then.
