The more delicate articles were laundered every week, in a special
product but I can't remember what that product was called - and that again, you
had a special day when you did that - that didn't involve very much - it was
more or less like an ordinary washday. It was done weekly, as we do now.
How long did the washday take? Was it a whole
day operation?
Because the wash lady - Frau Frei used to come and have a
midday meal with us - so by the time she had, had her - afternoon, say half an
hour or three quarters of an hour - and then she would go, about three o'clock
or between three and four she would go home. That was the big event.
