Children's programme 7: Wash day with the Spengler family

To set the mood, the Spengler family is introduced and the procedure of a washing day 100 years ago is described. Then aprons are tied on and the work begins. The children do all the work that used to be part of the big wash with old equipment: Washing with a scratch board and brush, rinsing, wringing, hanging, laying and rolling. Following this, the Spengler House is explored in a guided tour.
