Ohhhh, that will wash the hell out of farmers/ field workers or assembly line/garage workers clothes! Another electric version of beating clothes on a rock.
I have a late 40's Kenmore BOL in my collection. It is average in cosmetic appearance with a bit of surface rust here and there. Works perfectly. I even have the booklet that came with it. The owner jotted the delivery date in pencil on the front cover.
Not trying to be a tease. Just saying...
After reading about the Tide Professional in the past post, I tried the Tide Ultra Oxy powder. It has changed the way I do my laundry. I am very impressed with the results.
I find the fragrance rinses out well, and have no problem with the very light remainder.

I have been using the Tide Oxi powder for a few months now and I have to say it is really doing a good job. I have finally broken my old habit of hot washes for everything. I rarely use Clorox anymore. I am very impressed.
I do not recall. People regularly used Clorox back then so even if there were a color transfer the bleach would take care of it. Today, those old rings are so porous they probably would hold on to some color. IMO the WCI-56 and WCI-57 machines would be the most vulnerable with those Gray rubber...
That takes a good bit of work. Those came out beautifully. Those of us who have large collections of machines can always use some of these. I can use some of all three! Just advise when you are ready to sell some!
