    Well, people used to stomp on grapes to make wine…Alix is just extrapolating that action to her pool! ;)

    Working and playing in unison. Brilliant, Alix. Now, let’s see you do the spin cycle and the drying (whirling over your head like a helicopter).

    They also used to beat them on the rocks in the stream or river so it’s not so far off from what she is doing and a washer does about the same as she will.

    Alix is very resourceful. I remember a while back she used a salad spinner to wash socks!

    I think that was used in the fulling process.

    As many of you pointed out, that IS the ancient way of washing (and would not be bad if washed and rinsed well using that technique) but I suspect mom will redo.
