laundry's history

History of laundry can be as old as our process of putting on clothes. Now, needless to say no-one on the face of this entire world is so filthy rich that they would wear a cloth once and dispose it. This is why we clean our clothes to make them wearable or usable once more. This post is here to enlighten you regarding the history of laundry, which mean; how was it done previously? What were the ways to do your laundry? What things were utilized? And various such queries that could make you think that everything you do today is peanuts in comparison to what laundry in the past used to be.

As i've already explained the story of laundry will be as aged as our practice of wearing clothes. Then when did it really start out? Well I do not believe there would be a clear date of when it started or maybe somebody at some point just woke up with the concept of washing his/her clothes. No matter the date it started, one particular thing is for sure- The ways that girls used to have in old days were tedious and time intensive. Laundry in the history must have been the toughest pain of any lady as it was so time-consuming and exhausting.

Discussing the history of laundry, starting it from a point where it had been humanistic, that is coming from the creation of scrub board in 1779, I can only think of what women utilized to accomplish before that. What i'm saying is, it is a simple process when you write about it since all you have to do is rinse your clothes in water, apply some soap, scrub them with your hands or utilizing a brush and there you're done. Nonetheless it was very tedious and time consuming. This is actually the way ladies and sometimes males around the world used to do it before generations. The quantity of time that it required to do laundry back then must be phenomenal because everything was manual and there was no thought of mechanization of the process.
There was no notion of even a clothing dryer and even that was manual by hanging the laundry on wires.
