While they didn’t have hot showers or fancy soaps, they had their own clever ways of staying clean—some of which might surprise you!  

 

- Linen undergarments kept them fresh  

- Toothbrushes? Not quite, but they cleaned their teeth!

-  Fancy soap balls scented with rose & musk  

 

And one historian even tested their hygiene methods—what she found was shocking!
