CleanLinen D70 1959 Panoramica 040321

This is the 1959 CleanLinen model D70 twin-tub washing machine made by the “F.lli Montuori Officine Meccaniche” in Milan Italy. Back in the 1950s, during the Italian post war economy boom there were many small washing machine manufacturers; people finally got rid of the restrictions due to the WW2 and were asking for new products and appliances in order to improve their lifestyle. Many small craftsman shops started making, on a small scale, what it seemed to be one among the most requested and dreamed appliance… the washing machine… whether it was an automatic or a semiautomatic, an agitator or turbulator or a tumbler machine was not important as long as it was a machine able to free them from the fatigue of hand-made laundry. Among the many small mechanical workshop that started manufacturing washing machines, the F.lli Montuori, in Milan, created the brand CleanLinen in the early 1950s. The name had been chosen because at the time anything with a name that “sounded” like an American brand would have had more appeal to people who were identifying the idea of progress and better living with the American lifestyle also because it was advertised in any possible way as to be the “Non Plus Ultra”… As for many new small appliance manufacturer of the time, there wasn’t a real mass production but, regardless of that, it became one of the most appreciated washing machine brand during the 1950s until the mid ‘60s. Unfortunately by the second half of the 1960s, as many other brands, it went out of market not having an industrial structure capable of competing with mass production and by the early 70 only a few large companies remained and most of the small brands were bought by these large producers to diversify their production. The D70 is a typical 1950s twin-tub washing machine that uses a turbulator placed on the tub bottom to move the laundry. The machine, as most of the washer designed for the Italian and European market, has its own water heater which is placed around the washer turbulator and protected by a ring cover that allow the water to pass from its outer side traveling over the heating element and be pushed upward by the turbulator. The heater cover can be removed in order to clean both the drain and the heating element and it should be noted that the drain pipe protrudes upwards higher than the heating element so that the latter is always under water even after the wash tub has been emptied to avoid overheating in the event that the heater switch is turned on when there is no water in the tub. Beside the washtub there is the spin dryer which spin speed is 1500rpm, the machine has two independent motor for the washer side and the spin dryer and two independent water pumps. A selector placed on top of the machine between the washer and spinner tubs sets the valve to allow the water to drain from the spin dryer or washing machine, it also serves to close the drains and has two other positions that allow the water to be recirculated in the washing machine tub or to activate the suds-saver by pumping the soapy water extracted from the already washed clothes placed in the spinner for rinsing. Always on the upper part of the machine there is an oscillating arm equipped with a small shower head that allows to add clean water to the wash tub or to spray the laundry while spinning to make the spray rinse. The main control panel has three dials to power the spin dryer, the washing machine water heater and a timer that controls the wash turbulator and turns it off automatically once the set time has passed. The machine cabinet and tubs are made of porcelain enameled steel, the turbulator and the heater protective ring are of nickel-plated brass and the spinner basket is of pure aluminum. The machine is mounted on castors for easy movement and the water pipes and power cable can be stored on the rear holders. This machine is very sturdy as most of the 1950s appliances, it has been on the company catalog from the 1959 until the middle 1960s. Its washing ability is good, it can wash safely also delicate garments and can be compared to many other machines of other makers using the same washing action such as AEG, Siemens, Wamsler, Rheberg, Rondò to name a few
