I knew the baths were a big thing for the Greeks and Romans I guess I was just thinking of past generations in general. I think people are generally cleaner now than even 100 years ago. I remember even in the early 40’s some of my country relatives didn’t have indoor plumbing and electricity. Washing clothes was done out side by hand. We are so spoiled.

"Washing clothes was done out side by hand. We are so spoiled."

My sister has the big cast iron pot/tub that my mother told us her mother used to cook/wash clothes outside with a wood fire under the pot. She also said that they used to make their own soap from lye and animal fat (I think it was). Times they have changed. Also, I think clothes washing used to be an all day affair.
