Washing clothes in the Ganges |
Dirty clothes in India? You don’t need a washing machine. You need a river. The men above are slapping clothes against the steps leading down to the Ganges River. The water is as dirty as it looks. People generally wash their finer clothes at home, while underwear, work clothes, etc. are sent out to be cleaned here. Both men and women work at washing clothes. Even cows come to watch.
If a river isn’t nearby, clothes are sent to a kind of Laundromat—without washers, without driers.
Instead they have small closet-size rooms open to the outside where men stand in the water and slap laundry against the platform.
Notice—no clothespins! |
How would you like to have a washing load this big? |
This young man is carrying a load to be ironed. |
Sprinkling clothes. |
A woman sprinkles the linens . . .
then she rolls them up and sends them to be ironed.
Ironing |
The iron is black and heavy and not electric. Instead it’s filled with burning coals.
Doing laundry in India is just as strenuous as it looks. But not for these two boys on vacation from school. They get to play a game while their parents work. But not for long. Most likely when they finish school, they will follow their parents occupations and wash laundry too.
After reading your blog and viewing these snaps I must say you are absolutely right that Doing laundry in India is just as laborious as it looks in these photographs. My father went to India before his hearst castle tours from los angeles and told me about this ; you post help me to admit this fact in 21 century.

ReplyDeleteWell, in the winter time, individuals must wear more clothing to keep warm and protect themselves from the cold and rain. This is also good for our business because winter clothing will fill more washing and drying machines compared to summer clothing.See more at- Toronto laundromat services

Hello guys
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Our laundry was a disaster and if answering three questions were going to help us we would have been thanking anyone for any advice. So I decided that it would be a goal of mine to be on top of the laundry so whoever showed up whenever they showed up at our house laundry would not be an obstacle on the way to the kitchen.
