A mangle or wringer is a mechanical washing aid consisting of two rolls in a sturdy frame, connected by a wheel and, in its home version, powered by a hand or electric crank. While the tool was originally used to squeeze water from wet laundry, today mangles are used for pressing or flattening sheets, tablecloths, kitchen towels, or other clothes and clothing.

History
Press clothing
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first use of the English word from 1598, citing John Florio who, in his 1598 dictionary, A World of Words , described "a kind of press to suppress the buckram , fustian, or dyed linen, to make it shiny or shiny. "The word is derived from the Dutch
In the second half of the nineteenth century, commercial leaching began using mangek or steam-powered soldering devices. Gradually, the rotation cycle of the electric washer makes the use of this mangle obsolete, and hence the need to squeeze water from clothing mechanically. Mangrove boxes are large and are mainly intended to suppress fine laundry; they are used by wealthy households, large commercial laundry, and "mangle women" entrepreneurs. Middle-class households and independent laundry women use soft mangok to squeeze water from the laundry, and by the end of the 19th century they were used more than the early washing machines. Rollers are usually made of wood, or sometimes rubber.
Steel Roll Mangle Co. of 108 Franklin Street, Chicago, Illinois offered a heated house gas mangle to press the linen in 1902. In the 1930s mangle electricity was developed and still features many laundry rooms. They consist of rotating swinging drums that spin against heating elements that can be stationary, or can also be rotating drums. Laundry is inserted into a rotating mangle that appears flat and pressed on the other side. This process takes less time than ironing with a regular iron and ironing board.
There are many electric rotary ironers in the American market including Solent, Thor, Ironrite and Apex. In the 1940s the list has grown to include Bendix, General Electric, Kenmore and Maytag. In the 1950's a smith or mangles house when they came to be called to be a popular time saver for housewives.
Dry clothes
When the home washer was first discovered, they were only to wash: the tub in the leg or the wheel. A hand-turning mangle appeared above after 1843 when John E. Turnbull of Saint John, New Brunswick patented "Washer With Squeeze the Scroll." The first directed extortion mangle in England is estimated to date to around 1850, when one was invented by Robert Tasker of Lancashire. It is a smaller, erect version of the mangle box.

Current use
Suppressing small domestic forests may be more common in some countries than in other countries. They are not usually sold in stores or home appliances departments in North America. In contrast to its use at home, mangles have become an important feature of commercial or large-scale laundry. They are usually used for pressing flat items such as sheets or tablecloths, and are also much faster and more energy efficient to remove most water than clothing dryers. Expert operators can also press a shirt and pants (pants) on top of a mangle.
With some modifications, they make cheap alternatives to print etching/relief.
The significant benefit of mangling is reducing dust. When washing, the ends of the surface fibers tend to loosen and protrude when dried. The clothes are then much more sensitive to trap dust, dirt and grease, and to release the fibers. Mangling presses the fiber end back into the fiber, so the clothes stay clean longer. This can reduce dust as much as 10-60 times. Manglek is most often used for sheets, tablecloths and towels, which will take time to iron by hand.
