Pranie w PRL — 10 domowych sposobów, zanim wszystko robiła pralka automatyczna

Before automatic washing machines appeared in homes, doing laundry in the Polish People's Republic (PRL) was a complete ritual. A zinc washtub in the middle of the kitchen, hot water from a pot, grated gray soap, Lux flakes for delicates, a metal washboard, boiling the sheets, Frania clucking in the bathroom, hand-wringing sheets, starching curtains, drying them on the balcony, and a trip to the ironer—this was a job that's hard to imagine today. In this episode, we return to the smell of steam, wet linen, fresh linen, and red hands after a long day of laundry. Do you remember Frania, the washboard, or the smell of sheets straight from the ironer? #PRL #nostalgia #oldendays
