About MeWashing machines are now found in most homes in Aberdeen. But 70 years ago this was not true. Then washing was mostly done by hand, in wash houses with big sinks. This was hard heavy work done by women. Once washed water had to be squeezed out of the clothes this could be done by hand or using a wringer.
