My Mom, of course, didn't wash clothes like that. She had a ringer washer and hung the clothes on a line outside. She did make her own soap for a time.
She canned, butchered chickens, etc.
Now is a lady of leisure.....LOL She would laugh to hear me say that. She is a very busy lady at 72 years old.

Hey, I got my arm caught in one of those when I was 7. My sister was talking on the phone and had to come running to release the pressure and free my arm.

In the early days of marriage I lived too far from a laundry mat and we lived upstairs of a house. I had to wash clothes and cloth dipes in the tub (My legs and feet were the swishers) and then I hung stuff out on the line in the yard to dry. I later got a wringer washer (I specifically asked for one...those things are awesome!!! I would love another!) and still hung on the line except in the winter. I finally got a washer and dryer. We are on our second set now...we've had it for about 6yrs.

I currently make my own laundry soap. (it's actually an "in" thing amoung mommas throughout the internet)
Well, you sound a lot like my Mom in her younger days and that's a very good thing!
