Why was sand and soap wort used to clean pots in medieval times?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The sand provided an abrasive to scour off stuck materials, much like the rough side of a modern sponge. Soap wort is a plant that can be processed into a mild liquid detergent by boiling the leaves and roots, the medieval equivalent of dish washing liquid (or shampoo).
Medieval people made other types of soap as well. Soaps made of animal fat, ash, and soda were known in Spain and Italy by the 6th to 8th century, and its use was widespread in Europe by the 9th century.
