How did Victorians wash their clothes?

Answer 1

Doing laundry in the Victorian era was a lot more labor intensive than it is today. They washed clothing by hand with water carried from a pump, using a washboard. To dry the clothing, they wrung as much water was they could out by hand and then ran the clothing through a mangle before hanging it, either outdoors or indoors, to finish drying.

Answer 2

As many victorians did not have bathrooms, but only outside toilets andd no bath in the average household, they just used water left in the bath...most poor homes had a tin bath, that was filled from heating water up on a stove. Soap was available, and they used if they could afford it dry powder. They certainly did not have the vast variety of goods that we have today

Answer 3

By hand, in a wash basin with a scrub board.

Answer 4

By licking therselfs.
