[quote=Anonymous]Before the invention of paper napkins cloth napkins were all that were used. Laundering in the olden days was done once a week with heavy lye. Napkins would have been washed once a week with the other wash on a wash board. Each family member gets a different color/style napkin ring. Napkins get used 5-7 days, depends on messiness and then washed. Cloth napkins have been used since Roman times. In the middle ages back of the hand or shirt would have been used. Around the 1500's napkins on the table became more common. [/quote]
