What is a "wringer"?
A wringer is a device used to squeeze out excess water from wet clothes or fabric. It typically consists of two rollers that press together to force water out of the material. Wringers were commonly used in older washing machines or as standalone devices before the invention of modern spin cycles. They are often operated manually, by turning a handle, or automatically in older machines. Wringers help make the drying process faster by reducing the amount of water left in clothes before they are hung or placed in a dryer.
