Have you ever wondered how the shower was created and what is its history? Some findings demonstrated that rudimental cleaning techniques from the above were present in Greece and Egypt. Shower was tied not only to the hygiene of the body but rather to the soul purification: water fell from the head and wetted all the body. This action has a symbolic value because the waters cancelled all the sins and the soul recovered its purity and serenity.
But the history of the shower as a cleaning tool started in 1872, when Merry Delabost, a French doctor who worked in the prisons, used it to give to the prisoners a better hygiene level. After not so much time, shower to spread also in the barracks and as an obligatory practice in the common huts, often placed externally. Later it started to be placed inside the homes, reducing the water consumption, decreasing infectious diseases and increasing people’s hygiene.
The evolution of the shower over the history made possible the realization of sanitary ware always more sophisticated and more focused on the wellness.
Today the shower is seen as an instrument to use for a correct and fast body hygiene and a place where to relax after a stressing day.
