You need to fill the water up to the top of the four vanes on the agitator so the clothes can circulate freely. Also wring the laundry into your rinse tub before you drain the washer; otherwise the dirt settles back into your clothing. You can use on tub of wash water for multiple loads--start with white and lightly soiled clothes first. You will save water and detergent.
Very Nice and so cool! My parents had one of them in our basement! Tfs. Tammy hope your thumb gets better real soon!! Take care and God Bless!!! ❤️✝️✝️✝️❤️
Nice find! I remember my mom using one of these when I was growing up. They definitely are built better and last longer than the washing machines they make now days. Sorry to hear about Tammy's thumb, praying for her a speedy recovery ... he's one tough gal for sure.
Very cool , my mom had one and when I was about 4 or 5 she was washing and went to answer the phone so I was going to help her and I put the clothes in the ringer and my hand went with it, boy did I scream.. very nice find and a really great price.. Thanks Tim and Tammy ❤️💙💙😘
I love those old things too, wringer washers you could wash as looooooooong as you wanted rinse when you felt like it! Someday I will have one again! I ain’t going back to a wash board again to much work! 😂 😂 😂 I used to use one though in my bathtub! 💕🙏✝️😂🤤🏡🦌🤗🤗😍😘
Wow nice! My dad was going to put one out by his shop for shop rags but got to thinking that it might not get them very clean compared to a regular washer.
They are still out there. Just keep checking the Estate Sales. You will find one. Just be prepared to bargain hard because some people think they are marketing gold! Maytag and Speed Queen both continued to manufacture manual washers into the 1980's. I think Speed Queen still manufactures and sells them new, in Mexico.
We have a set of square wash tubs. You wring out the clothes from the wash machine into the first tub filled with water. There’s a wringer between the tubs and you wring the clothes into the second empty tub. Hope that helps. Cheers
@@amishpope I vaguely remember the old ringer washer in our basement in the 50's. There were two big wash sinks that they used also. It was a new house at the time so the sinks were put in purposely for the ringer washers of the day. I live in Arizona and have been looking for a Maytag ringer washer. I have also heard that Amish Stores rebuild them and sell them. Any idea where I might find one? Thanks for the video and the reply.
Why did you dump your water. We always rinsed in a tub and saved the wash water and washed a good six or 8 loads of clothes in that water. That way you are saving water and soap. Doing as you all did, you aren't using less water really than an automatic.
