[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is in her nineties and always bathed daily. In areas with out indoor plumbing they put water in a bowl from a pitcher and hand washed themselves usually daily. When I was young we visited people without indoor plumbing. There were chamber pots in the bedrooms and an outdoor toilet. The kitchen had a pump at the sink and there was a large pump outside. So the answer is no- all people didn't just be filthy. Remember it was hard for them to do laundry so clothes were brushed off and even spot washed. [/quote] the chamber pot was to pee in.[/quote]
