In "How the Other Half Lives," Jacob Riis described how sinks in tenements often ended up in poor condition due to overcrowding, lack of maintenance, and limited access to proper sanitation facilities. The sinks would "slink" due to neglect and poor living conditions, leading to unsanitary and unhygienic environments for residents.
He was talking about the water supply in the sinks of the tenements. It comes from Riis' book How the Other Half Lives.

Tenements can be described as poor people.
Doing laundry in tenements was challenging due to the lack of adequate facilities and space. Many tenements had no private bathrooms or laundry rooms, forcing residents to wash clothes in small sinks or basements, often with limited access to water. The cramped living conditions made it difficult to hang clothes to dry, and the absence of washing machines meant that laundry had to be done by hand, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Additionally, the poor sanitation and overcrowding in tenements often led to concerns about hygiene while laundering clothes.
Salome of the Tenements was created in 1925.
