(soft upbeat music)
-
- Everybody's got their favorite part of the cycle.
-
There are people that love the wash,
-
they love the rinse, or the spin, or the drain.
-
I'm a spin guy.
-
I love the spin.
-
My name is Jon Charles, and
-
I'm a washer collector enthusiast.
-
- Laundry day.
-
- [Jon] The club got started around 1987, I think,
-
and now we have, like, 3,000 members from all over the world.
-
We get together for washes.
-
You do laundry 'til like four in the morning,
-
you do your margaritas and you launder together.
-
- To laundry.
-
- To laundry.
-
- [Jon] We watch the cycles, you'll see a lot of us
-
just stand there and watch the whole cycle go through.
-
- Oh, oh my God.
-
- All 3,000 of us come in with a story like
-
I thought I was the only one,
-
I thought I was the only person in the world that did this.
-
In the collection, I've got 59 machines,
-
and I've got 22 hooked up and running
-
down here in the basement.
-
(knocking)
-
I have a good representation of everything
-
that was made, from 1938 to today.
-
And I take them all apart and I restore them 'cause
-
I wanna know how everything works inside the machine.
-
And then the laundry is for me,
-
it's sorta like the frosting on the cake.
-
These machines represent a lot of ways
-
of doing things in each decade that changed,
-
that we no longer do.
-
And I think it's something that should be
-
preserved for other people,
-
if we can get them interested.
-
I just can't go to a cocktail party
-
and say, “How's your washer doing?”
-
They'd look at me like I was crazy.
-
But I can get together with these guys,
-
let my hair down, uh, it's just so much fun
-
to be able to have a conversation about it,
-
'cause I know laundry's a chore for everybody else,
-
but for us it's play.
