∙ 12y agoRoman clothing was cleaned by people called fullers. Urine was an important ingredient used in their cleaning process, along with other things. The actual process is unclear and there is no known "cleaning recipe" that can be pointed to. It is also unclear if they had a standard mixture of ingredients or if each fuller had his own special blend.

Where did ancient Egyptians use the toilet?
Ancient Egypt used the toilets in a tolle but not a ordinary toilet. --- Ancient Egypt was among the first civilisations to employ running water toilets. This was generally in a back room of the house and had a stream plumbed to run under a grated box in the corner of the room. Where running water was not available they would use a stone box which was slopped out. Another type of toilet was the wooden commode (a chair with a hole in it) which was used when the Pharaoh was out on campaign. It is very likely that the Romans learned what they knew of plumbing from the Egyptians. See the pictures below for photos.

What we, today, call toilet (a receptacle for a body's waste) was called either a "latrina" or a "fornica" by the Romans.
