National Laundry Day

Benjamin Franklin may have skipped one thing in life: laundry. National Laundry Day, April 15th, gives us the opportunity to examine our laundry habits and teach our children how to make healthy ones.

For as long as it has existed, humans have been doing laundry in various ways.. With a stick or pounding the grime out of our clothes and bedding, one of the earliest methods was to beat the dust and dirt out of our clothes and bedding, or pounding the grime out against a rock in the river. One of the earliest methods was beating the dust and dirt out of our clothes and bedding.

Early forms of soap were created from a mixture of animal fat and ashes. A river washed washing boards and tubs. Scrubbing the fabric over the washboard's ribs and soap helped remove the grime and stains. Humans washed their clothes in manual cranked tubs as well. These tubs eventually led to the first automatic washing machine. In 1910, Alva J. Fisher was granted the first U.S. patent for an electric washing machine.

Dry cleaning is another method we've used to dry our clothes. Dry cleaning has increased and decreased on the household budget these days, as many clothes are wash-and-wear. In these days, so many clothes are wash-and-wear, and dry cleaning has increased and lower on the household budget.

Also, when we do laundry, it has also changed. Clothing were hung on a line to dry before commercial washing machines and dryers were invented. Although many people line dry their laundry, few people have clotheslines, although some people do line dry their washing. In addition, the poorer a person was, the more often they washed their clothes and linens. As noted in several books and nursery rhymes, a week was relatively normal, and washing day was traditionally on a Monday. For example, this is a nursery rhyme from the Victorian period, but weekly laundry washed on a Monday.

They were washed on monday by a monday wash

On Monday, they that wash. They that wash on Monday.

Have all week to dry; have all week to dry;

They didn't wash on Tuesday. They're awash on Tuesday.

Are not much awry;

On Wednesday, they that wash on Wednesday. They that wash on Wednesday.

There are not many things to blame; there are not so many things to blame; they are not so much to blame;

On Thursday, they that wash on Thursday. They that wash on Thursday.

Wash for shame;

They that wash on Friday.

Wash in need;

And they that wash on Saturday?

They are certainly filthy!
