🧵 day or reason for a day but I have a vague memory of someone saying it required all week to get everything dry hence starting on Monday. My maternal great grandparents generation, the washing went to a laundry with little red laundry marks On all the linen but they were fairly wealthy.
Oh and my dad pressed his work trousers. He was RAF and didn't want to end up on a charge for not doing it right. She was allowed to iron his RAF shirts as he'd shown her the RAF way! The wooden airer doubled as a Wendy House / Pirate ship ... with addition of a blanket when not drying washing.
