🧠 The Daily Fact #40

In England during the Middle Ages, Saturday was often known as “Bath Day.” With limited access to heated water and soap, most people only bathed once a week, and Saturday became the customary day for it. This timing made sense since Sunday was the main day of church attendance, and people wanted to appear their cleanest. While weekly bathing might sound grim today, in medieval times it was considered perfectly normal—and even hygienic by the standards of the era.
