3. Dirty laundry. So if they weren\u2019t bathing much, how did most Europeans of the time keep clean? Why, they just swapped their shirts! When they saw the dirt accumulating on their clothes, they assumed that the linens were \u201cdrawing out\u201d grime from their bodies. It turns out that scrubbing your body with linen cloth every day (which some people of the time thankfully did) can keep you relatively stench-free. We\u2019d still recommend showering, though.<\/p>\n

4. Smell soaps. Liquid soap was first patented way back in 1865\u2026 but you probably wouldn\u2019t have wanted to wash your hands with it. It was made by dissolving one pound of solid soap in one hundred pounds of ammonia solution. Ammonia solution is great for cleaning, but it\u2019s also extremely foul-smelling.<\/p>\n

5. Doctor drama. In the 19th century, doctors would autopsy a corpse, then attend to other patients \u2014 all without washing their hands first. Physician Ignaz Semmelweis realized that this was why patients kept dying of sepsis, and suggested that doctors start washing up before procedures. Unfortunately for patients everywhere, the other doctors didn\u2019t believe him. Semmelweis lost his job and was rejected by his former colleagues. But we\u2019d still shake his hand \u2014 and not just because we trust he\u2019d wash it first.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"
