U n young today do not understand why a lover had to go to the source to the tissue and wash in the sink at home or in the washing machine?
Dear guys, you know everything about video games, cell phones, software, facebook, sms or GPS, you missed an important link in the life, the one between knowing how to do and know how to use ! You are only the end users of products. While in the past had to be able to do especially since this depended on the survival of the family.
This blog is the "missing link" that brings back the past "know how"!
's why I got told by ' Armentini one of the most important "razdora" owner, or as he washed the laundry when there was no water at home and detergents were used.
How did the laundry before modernity?
The washing of the blank sheets, towels, tablecloths, towels, hemp ... etc. was done once a month. It was enough, because the effort was great and worked there all the women of the house for a day that was to be sunny. Since we lived in extended families, they can easily get 15 people and a combination of linen filled with dozens of baskets.
After bringing home the water, they made a first pass, the clothes, very dirty, brush, soap, and lots of elbow grease. This linen just wipe
was put into a bucket and covered it with a " smoìa ", that is an old bed sheet that had to protect the laundry from the ash. In fact, over this smoìa was put the ash, as we know, has a power bleaching and degreasing. Separately they boiled several pots of water were poured on the ashes to fill the tub. In this water the laundry there remained an entire day. In fact, the razdora began this the day before.

Once removed from the ashes, the clothes should be washed after it well wrong. And here there ... the source. With the beautiful baskets full of clothes to wash the laundress went public, if there was, otherwise their way to somewhere or some stream of clean water flowing. To remove ashes and soap the clothes had to slam hard on the stone or wood. This was a major operation to remove any residue that could damage the fabric or leaving marks. Before putting it to dry, the laundry was wrung out very well: the clothes held between two women, were run on opposite sides. At that point, was lying in the grass to dry, especially on the bushes so that animals could trample
The remaining water in the tub was used to wash clothes stained. Nothing was thrown, everything was recovered and pollution was a word not yet invented.
Detergents time, as well as ash and soap, were: bleach, soda, borax, lime, kaolin and precious vinegar.
