Roman Laundry-House

Shown above is an inspired recreation of a Roman laundry-house.

Firstly, slaves or towns people would rinse/rub/stamp on their dirty clothes in an acidic solution of water, urine, and heavy water.

Image 2 features a checker pattern of the bowls in which the clothes where placed, with the area not under cover housing the various vessels of urine/water and baskets of cloths that would be frequently used.

After they had been rinsed, the clothes would be soaked in clean water and left to dry, image 4 features the baths in which this was done.

Often closely or connected to a laundry-house was a latrine (toilet), as this made collecting urine easier.

Image 3 depicts a series of wooden seat in which people would sit down to go to the toilet, and a central bath for people to clean themselves.
