Description

Wash Day by D Hackett

Silver River State Park

Washing the family's clothes was often done on Mondays, and it took the entire day. First water was heated in a metal boiler on a cookstove or in the fireplace. When the water came to a boil, soap shavings were added and the water was stirred until the soap dissolved. Next the clothes were dumped in. First the whites were washed, then the colored clothes, then the heavy work clothes. The clothes boiled for ten minutes and were then removed and rubbed with homemade soap and scrubbed on a ribbed washboard. After all the clothes had been washed the tub was filled with fresh water to rinse the clothes with.
