The standard way to clean clothes these days is by using a wringer-type washing machine, such as the Kenmore "Visi-Matic" model advertised here. It comes equipped with a "Roto-Swirl" agitator and "sparkling glamorous chrome-plated" wringer.

The more up-to-date -and affluent- housewife will probably be looking to buy a laundry pair such as these Kenmore machines. The "Hydro-Swirl" automatic washer features a "Retro-Swirl" agitator.
