When I checked the site (Lehmans), they call the model above the "Breathing Hand Washer", and the one pictured below a "Rapid Laundry Washer". I personally like the metal one better. If my grandmother's can withstand the test of time then hopefully so will this one.
Essentially this is a plunger for clothing. It forces water through the clothes to flush out any dirt. If your items have tough stains you may need to soak or scrub that spot by hand. This, of course, is the perfect chore for bored children who complain that they have nothing to do.

It's good to preserve great great grandma's hand washer, nothing wrong with displaying it.
ReplyDeleteI do have picture #1, I didn't know about the metal one. Wont it rust eventually?
