Westinghouse Washing Machine
Oh yes, am too well aquainted with those Westinghouse laundry appliances.
Much as one loves washers and things laundry today, did not always feel that way and deeply disliked being stuck indoors at Grandmama's cleaning, vacuuming, polishing and doing the wash. I mean what was the point of going "away"? If one wanted to do chores could have just stayed at home! *LOL*
Anyway, when Grandmama had her kithen redone, and the first time I saw the pair thought it was rather fast as Grandmother was not one to spend money freely, nor go for anything "high tech". Her new fridge and range and vent hood, were Harvest Gold as well, and the oven even had a self cleaning function.
Had never seen a front loading washing machine before as my home like everyone else one knew had top loading washing machines. The "Weigh to Save" bit got on ones nerves after a while. Just wanted to bung the lot into the washer and get on with things.
Remember we just chucked whatever washing powder was used on top of the wash and shut the door, as the machine lacked a dispenser. Fabric softener was simply poured into the drum after the second to last final spin. You had to wait until there was enough water in the tub otherwise the stuff would stain laundry. IIRC, my aunt and cousins who lived with Grandmama may have started to use dryer sheets.
Have to ask around and see if one or both of the appliances are still in the house. Grandmama passed on years ago, but my aunt sill owns the house.
