Roll a wooden rolling pin over the folded towel and wet laundry, pressing down as firmly as you can.

This includes lugging the water by hand though, so I'm hoping to be quicker once there is running water available. I have arthritis in my hands and back, we run a three-acre smallholding which includes caring for animals and free-range chickens.I've taken to doing a bit of dyeing while I'm out doing the laundry too and that gets another job done which I would not usually have/make time for.

Hang wet laundry up for a few minutes before wringing to let water drain to one end of the fabric, then wring from the drier end to the wet end. of 108 Franklin Street, Chicago, Illinois, offered a gas-heated home mangle for pressing linens in 1902.

A mangle (British) or wringer (American) [1] is a mechanical laundry aid consisting of two rollers in a sturdy frame, connected by cogs and (in its home version) powered by a hand crank or by electricity.The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first use of the word mangle in English from 1598, quoting John Florio who, in his 1598 dictionary, A World of Words, described "a kind of press to press buckram, fustian, or dyed linen cloth, to make it have a luster or gloss". Happily settled in the country Bette set up a thriving laundry business and began housekeeping, part-time, for others. I hand wash clothes, but this winter to save my hands I'm looking for a mangle to squeeze out the worst of the water before drying in front of the wood stove.
