Washing clothes
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Frania' washing machine is a cultural icon of the PRL era. It was a simple, non-automatic machine that required manual effort but was indestructible. Washing machines are almost always in the bathroom. Seeing one in a kitchen is considered very unusual and usually a result of extreme space saving. Drying clothes on a balcony is very common in summer, but there are often local rules about not hanging dripping wet clothes or 'unsightly' items like underwear too visibly. Saturday is the traditional 'laundry day'. Many families spend the morning cleaning the whole apartment, starting with the first load of laundry.
