What is the meaning of Fresh towels ready for spoilage, the wastebaskets gaping their invitations, ? - Question about English (US)

Definition of Fresh towels ready for spoilage, the wastebaskets gaping their invitations, @xarash As you’ve probably noticed by now, this is from the life of the older days! Haha “Fresh towels ready for spoilage,” would mean that for some apparent reason, there are fresh towels that are supposed to be put into the waterbaskets. By fresh, they most likely mean clean towels. “Gaping their invitations,” means the waterbaskets are ready for the fresh towels to be put into. The waterbaskets are inviting the towels inside, strongly. How they use these towels and the waterbaskets, I have no idea. This is from the ancient days, I would assume it’s for cleaning something? Clothes or those towels? I don’t know. What you should care about in this sentence is understanding the expression “gaping their invitations.” It’s not very common, but it’s an expression you might see from time to time. Hope this helped :)
