Common myths about bats in the house include that they are aggressive, carry diseases like rabies, and are blind. These myths can be debunked by understanding that bats are typically not aggressive towards humans, only a small percentage carry rabies, and they actually have excellent vision. It is important to seek professional help to safely and humanely remove bats from a house.

What did people use to wash their clothes before the washing machine was invented?

Washboards. From Wikipedia: "The traditional washboard is usually constructed with a rectangular wooden frame in which are mounted a series of ridges or corrugations for the clothing to be rubbed upon. For 19th century washboards, the ridges were often of wood; by the 20th century, ridges of metal were more common." The ridges on the washboard, along with soap, helped to rub the dirt from clothing, in a similar way to steel wool on a dirty pot. Because of washing machines, washboards are now used as musical instruments as opposed to being used for cleaning clothes.Before the washing machine, laundry was washed using a moving watercourse (stream, river, etc.) of some kind to do laundry. Bats or sticks of some kind were used in conjunction with the watercourse method to beat the dirt out of clothing and such. Another method used was washing laundry by wetting it and then rubbing it on rocks to get the dirt out. Washboards replaced this method. A washboard was a wooden or metal board with slats on it. After soaking the clothing in hot water to help loosen the dirt, people (women mostly) would take clothing and vigorously rub it up and down on the slats of the washboard to loosen dirt and debris.Please keep in mind that in some parts of the world, washing machines are expensive luxuries that most cannot afford so some of the methods listed above are still used.
