"This is The Way We Wash Our Clothes" - 16mm Film

This week we pivot back to Maytag for some instruction on how to launder all these new man-made fabrics. While rote, there are still some neat things to see, especially the variety of detergents/packaging available at the time.

Nice video.
Tailored to people to give them some Common Sense.
You know, that rare thing among people these days.

Could common sense be only as common as the average curve of society? There you have it Not to project that on anyone here, but some who claim to have more than average actually lack it. Projection is a classic defense mechanism for guilt.

At least at the time, no matter how many fabrics, detergents, washing methods and even washing machines, have since been introduced, this video still points out towards some simplicity...

And back then, there might not have been anything wrong with sitting on the floor playing with a toy washing machine to a real washing machine, no matter how much mom wanted to move on to other household chores, while the laundry was automatically done...

A revolution towards how modern methods of washing such as this, really changed for the better from many generations of Grandmothers' Times, freeing up mother towards more independence through today's conveniences...

Thank you, Corey!

I think a lot of it has to do with upbringing, along with education.
As for me, I was fixated on soaking up a wide variety of information about things.
And the younger people I have met have seemed to show a lack of education.

I’ve enjoyed these videos so much, especially those from the 1950s and ‘60s. Thanks for sharing them!

Watched it. It's obviously a low budget production compared to the films put out by Whirlpool. It doesn't appear to have been sponsored by Maytag, and it likely was something primarily intended for high school home ec classes. There wasn't any content trying to convince the viewer to purchase or use their product, the way most sponsored industrial films do.
