Old-Timey Laundry

The introduction of electric washing machines around 1908 marked a technological advancement, but their adoption was limited due to high costs and concerns about safety and reliability.

It wasn't until the 1920s, with increased electrification and mass production, that washing machines became more accessible to the average household.

Consequently, during the early 1900s, mechanized washing machines were a rarity in homes, with most laundry tasks still performed manually or outsourced to commercial laundries.
