We have it SOO… easy. I have hanging above our washing machine this reminder:
A Kentucky Grandmother’s “Receet” for washing clothes, given to a new bride:
1. Bild fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water.
2. Set tubs so smoke won’t blow in eyes if wind is pert.
3. Shave one hole cake lie soap in bilin water
4. Sort things, make 3 piles. 1 pile white, 1 pile cullord, 1 pile work britches & rags
5. Stir flour in cold water to smooth, then thin down with bilin water
6. Rub dirty spots on board, scrub hard, then bile. Rub cullord, don’t bile, just rench in starch.
7.Take white things out of kettle with broomstick handle, then rench, blew and starch
8. Spread tee towels on grass
9. Hang old rags on fence
10. Pour rench water
