@the-avaricious-meddler I'm on my phone right now so perchance to the formating but yea! The whole concept of Laundry Day is a thing because Laundry quite literaly took a whole day. It was a whole process starting in the morning (usually done by the labour of women in the household) and was a major endeavor! There were varying chemicals invented and sold to aid with it in the 19th century, esp as commercialization rose. New technology came about to help with the manner, but a lot of it was done with a spoon and a big pot beating the fabric.

The concept of a clothing iron then was a literal piece of metal heated in hot coals that was used to dewrinkle clothes!
