How did women do cleaning in the 1900s?
Washing clothes and bed linen was done by hand, or by a lever-operated washing machine. Richer households had live-in maids to do this hard work. Most of the clothing was starched, which made it stiff to wear. A wooden washing machine tub with paddles moved by pumping the tall lever, to agitate the washing.
Clothes and linen were squeezed through a wringer with an adjustment screw to vary the space between the rollers and thus the squeeze power. This removed much of the water. Washing was hung on lines with big wooden pegs.Ironing was a complicated job. This picture shows how to "keep a few irons in the fire". A wood stove was lit and several irons placed on it to heat up.

The U.S. Military leads the way in advancing uniforms with the adoption of digital uniforms. Currently, the Marines wear MARPAT (MARine PATtern), a camouflage that is made up of many tiny squares of different woodland colors to hide the wearer. MARPAT is available in winter, desert and woodland patterns. The Army has a similar type called ACU (Army Combat Uniform) and is also based on digital squares. However, the army version sports variations on gray and very light green/blue on their uniforms. Finally, the Air Force has developed a similar pattern based on digital squares and the tiger stripe pattern. All 3 uniforms help to mask a soldiers IR (InfraRed) signature.
