I thought I had it easy. It’s not that simple. The washing machine was a gift! They lost the manual. A top-loader in Europe! It’s not that common.
Feinwasche, plus-Wasser, 40 degrees Celsius.
I’m camping out next to the washer, in the basement, near the cellar (the bomb shelter?). I listen, watch, try to determine when each cycle begins, ends, rests. It’s the resting I need, I must be able to stop it there, but begin again right away so that there is no creasing, just soaking. There is no stirring: the drum is like a hamster wheel not a whirlpool, I can’t just stand and stir.
