Questions & Answers

The size of the washboard is important to me, as I am looking for a good size. Thanks for letting me know. I am Goordy. ?

It measures 24" wide by 24" high Five inches wide The washboard surface is made out of sturdy metal. It has one side for delicates, and one side for tougher There are 11" by 11" of metal on the actual surface. Dovetails and mortise and tenons are used to join pieces of wood together. There is no nail involved at all. I highly recommend this product at a great price and I love how it's made in the United States!

The product is suitable for delicates, i.e., How well can this be used to wash bras?

Any delicates that can be washed would be fine with this. The sections of corrugated cardboard just need to be lightly scudded. Initially, rub a bit of soap on the washboard, then rub the wet garment up and down over it. Stains need to be attended to extra carefully. A washboard, however, would not be ideal for washing wool garments such as sweaters. This could cause the garment to stretch and pill. You should be able to wear bras and underwear.

When and where were they ?

There is a Columbus Washboard Company in Logan, Ohio, that I believe made this. A website is available for them. The Columbus board of trade website is www.columbuswashboard.com

Getting rid of my washer made me want to buy this product to wash laundry. What types of laundry can you do with this? Does this rust-proof and large enough to handle them all?

There is no way you could make a washboard that would not be rustproof if that were the case. Washing my personal items with it is one of my favorite things to do. Many years ago, I used a clothes rack just like this one, and I would hang my clothes on a line outside to keep them Until a few years ago, we were stuck with this. The bucket is not much bigger than a bucket of water, but you can use it to wash pretty much anything if you need to wash it. If you want to wash clothes in a tub, you'll need a bathtub, or something bigger than a tub, to accommodate the wash board and your clothes

I like how it works
4/5

and so forth. The zits are few and far between. I'd like to share some advice with you. . It has some flaws, however. First, the wood frame is thin, so it doesn't hold the bar of soap as well as it could on the ledge above the board. Second, the stainless steel is This device works, but it's not as solidly built as it used to be in the good old days when everyone had a smartphone. Here are a few tips to follow You need not only to be strong to use a washboard - You need to know how to use your brain as well By simply soaping the clothes, then moving them across the corrugated surface, there is a wave of pressure at each peak and valley on the board that helps pump the soap through instead of requiring heavy effort. This is because the stainless board part is not very robust to handle much abuse. If you treat it well, the wood will last for many years to come A galvanized steel rail is going to rust and then beat your clothes, whereas a stainless steel rail is going to stay smooth over time. The following is a recommended method It will not be strong enough unless you find one that is.

Stylish washboard that is durable and of great This was a present I bought for my mom
5/5

Washing her lighter clothes and hand drying them is her favorite method. A washboard that is made to last was what she asked for. I decided to give one a try after reading reviews. Since she has had this bag for about two weeks now, she hasn't stopped raving about how well it's constructed and how well it's made. I'm happy she found it to be a great purchase. As soon as this one is worn out, I will buy another one.

This was my first washboard, and I found it to be better than I had Currently, I'm a male aged 21 and planning to study medicine
5/5

There is an option for me to use my parent's washer and dryer 5 miles away, but I would prefer to use mine. I am said to have an old spirit by my coworkers. However, this created a lot of dirt & mud With zote bar soap, I was able to get stains out of my toughest jeans quickly. I also used washing soda and vinegar. Add Borax to the wash water to boost the pH. There are dual textures on both the metal and the wood of the board Despite the weather, it held up The wood is of high quality, yet light, with a good treatment to prevent mildew and rot Water damage caused by rotted wood. Our products are made in the U. S. The only thing that could possibly be wrong about this.

All things can be washed with this! With this washboard, I can wash delicate clothing, such as sweaters, silk shirts, and anything else that needs to be hand washed
5/5

This machine is easy to use and works perfectly to wash clothes. Here it is next to a 170 fl oz Tide detergent, so you can see the size. It's the right size, both in comparison to its size and in comparison to the detergent. In addition to making the laundry room look nice, the design of the washboard is great.

The washboard fits perfectly in my sink, it is a sturdy piece
5/5

The washboard I have in my sink is sturdy, fits perfectly in my sink, has not rusted in the month that I have had it, and has helped keep my clothes cleaner than my old washing machine. The height of this chair is just right. It isn't too long or too short. There is only one thing that I would have trouble cleaning with it, and that would be sheets and blankets. However, other than that I love it. My 6-year-old has been using it with no damage to his clothing, and it is balanced well enough for him to use it by himself. As a matter of fact, I've used it both in my kitchen sink and in a bucket outside when the weather is nice.

The family's clothes stay clean when visiting the outdoors
5/5

We sometimes camp for several weeks or months at a time. This lets me keep the family dressed clean when we are so far from a washing machine. I am not talking about a decoration here. Also, I use it when I have delicate clothes or need to hand wash them. Despite its age, the item seems to be in good condition. This is awesome!.

The Tom foolery of the jug band
5/5

Nail stuff to it and beat on it with thimbles. Play it in a jug band. It's the best percussion I've ever heard.

Get your clothes truly clean by using the best method
5/5

The only person I live with is my boyfriend, a bachelor. The same applies to me, since I am disabled at 68. In any case, I do not wish to wash my clothes in a washing machine.
After all, how are clothes supposed to get clean when they are tossed around in Once the water becomes dirty in about 30 seconds, the clothes are swishing in dirty water from then on. They do not really smell clean, just the fragrances of the detergent make them smell clean. Additionally, the rinse/spin cycle in a washing machine forces soapy water through the clothes, which in turn results in them appearing "clean," (yeah, right). I have been using a plunger (breathing washer) for the past 10+ years. Which type should I get? I use this for large items like sheets, etc. , therefore I can look at what I'm washing to verify that it is clean. However, I prefer my washboard for getting clothes clean. If only I can wash one item at a time that way I can see how it looks Aside from cleaning in clean water, you'll need to rinse. Combine the two and you have a winner. It used to work well for as long as it decided that it would work. I used one of those "spinners", that extract water from the air. It finally died this past summer, so I recently bought an old-fashioned wringer to replace it. I believe that hanging clothes outdoors in the sun, and air, after washing them by hand, wringing them out, is the best way to dry clothes. In fairness, if I had a large family to take care of, and had to do a large load of laundry, I don't think I would find it nearly as rewarding, enjoyable, and therapeutic as I do now. It's fine for a single person, but not for a couple.
