Event Description
28 березня. День народження пральної машини
Зараз процес прання не потребує зусиль і займає мінімум часу, але так було не завжди. Саме сьогодні у 1851 році був запатентований прототип пральної машини. Перші пральні машини коштували досить дорого, але зараз ціна них доступна для кожної родини.

Здавати речі у пральню швидко та зручно.
