In the 1950s, they envisioned a future that was plastic and waterproof. The teeny-tiny caption says, “Because everything in her home is waterproof, the housewife of 2000 can do her daily cleaning with a hose.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a drain in the middle of my living room! There are some days when it would certainly come in handy….

…until the city has a clog in the the sewer system and in backs up into your living room.
Hmm. Perhaps I haven’t thought it all the way through…
other than the possibility of back up – sounds great to me!
You think that’s where the idea of keeping your couch wrapped in plastic came from?
What she’s thinking:
“I’m gonna wash that man right outta my house!”
Back then they never imagined that we’d run out of clean water! We can’t even water our lawns here in FL due to water shortage. But what an excuse to let the housework slide! Sorry honey, we can only hose down the house every third Sunday!
Haveing a party?…Just hose everything down in the livingroom before comany comes..LOL!
Now some would definatly call that a ‘ Wet’n Wild” part!
Maybe thats where they came up with the idea for kids “Slip n’ Slides”.
The plastic sheet on the lawn and hose it down for summer fun.
I LOVE IT. Of course with the guarantee of no sewer smell. My life would be much simpler.
That used to be my dream for kitchens and bathrooms! Spray on cleaner and hose away the grime. Practical but not very friendly!
with sick kids, and potty training Dogs, they could make one way valves for the drain so there would be no back-up, I’m all for it, and here in Oregon we could just use our well water or rain water from the roof to wash the house
