Every day we use common products and objects without actually paying attention to them. Did you wonder about the origin of your toothbrush or any other common use object, for example? Today we will discover bathroom history and its evolution during the time.
The term “bathroom” is clearly made of “bath” and “room”. The first word is used in many different context to indicate the immersion of a body in a fluid for cleaning or recreational purposes or even for religious rituals.
The first proofs of body cleansing as an everyday habit and of houses containing a room dedicated to personal hygiene and toilets date back to the 19th century.
We need to go back to 2000 B.C. in ancient Greece, during Minos Kingdom to find the first ancestors of W.C. in bathroom history. The first toilets were made of wood and ceramic and they were put in an hidden place constructed above a underground sewer system which was meant to bring sewage to the river.
In the next posts we will retrace bathroom history to see how all its components such as bidet and W.C. evolved during the time according to the different cultures and habits.
