When did humans start washing?

Who is the Japanese who likes beautiful beauty?、The majority of people wash more than once a day.。It's one of the housework I take for granted every day.、When did the laundry begin?

Was King Tutankhamun wearing laundry clothes too?

I've wondered that I'm looking into laundry.。When did humans start washing?

It is sure that old men wore leaves and fur.。If it comes to、Surely disposable? The beginning of washing is related to the development of clothes.。It also seems to have a deep relationship with religion.。From the feeling of being clean in front of God、I started to "purify" by soaking my body in water.。At the same time, he seems to have cleansed his clothes.。however、Just soaking in water won't clean the stain.。So step on your clothes、hitting with sticks or stones, etc.、It is the beginning of washing that I devised to remove dirt more.。

A mural from around 2100 BC in the Egyptian village of Benihassan、It depicts washing people hitting, squeezing and drying clothes along with sports and magic at the time。King Tutankhamun was born around 1340 BC、I'm sure he was wearing beautifully washed clothes.。

It looks like fun! Washing in Ancient Rome

In ancient Rome between 250 BC and 500 AD、The laundry was washed in a public place like the current laundromat with a laundry on a large tub.。There is a terracotta bowl for washing the tub.、It seems to have devised it so that it knocked it into the pot by jumping and dancing and the dirt was removed further.。It looks a bit of fun to imagine。

Also, there was no soap or detergent in Greece around the same time.、At one point, when I washed my clothes with the water of the river where the fat and ashes burned the sacrifice sheep flowed in,、I found that the dirt fell off well for some reason.。
The mixture of fat and ash was a natural soap made of fatty acids and ash alkalis.。The name of this land is Support.、It is also said that it became the etymology of English SOAP (soap) after。

Is it a proof of the rich that you can wash?

In the Middle Ages of 500-1500 BC、Washing is now done once every 2-3 months。Although laundry liquid and olive oil soap can finally be made、It seems to have been rarely used in a very high-end goods.。Mainly trampling and hitting、It is an age when the washing method did not develop so much。

1500During the Renaissance period from 1990 to 1700, the washing board was invented, and it seems that washing became a little easier.、18Even after the 21st century, soap was still expensive and used laundry drainage was divided into poor people.。It was not until the end of the 19th century that the study of soap progressed and the general public could use it.。

The current high washing frequency in Japan、If an old person knows, you may turn your eyes to "What a luxury!"。Next time, I would like to introduce the history of washing in Japan.。
