Women wore a cap unless their hair was “dressed” as it helped keep grease & dirt out of their hair due to the problem with washing it especially in winter. It was common for those of means to have a wig (or several wigs) made - men & women. One’s head would be shaved for this so the wig would fit properly. In addition to it being fashionable, it helped with the hair washing problem.

Laundry was done weekly or bi-weekly depending on how many items one owned. White fabric was used for women’s shifts and men’s shirts (both of which also functioned as sleepwear) - underpants just coming in in the 1780’s for men only, as well as sheets, etc. as it could be boiled for washing. Dyes were not stable & would lighten when washed. Laundry was not done while bathing.

Later they added a pump to the well, so she had running water in the kitchen, but there never was an inside toilet while she was in the house.

Bathing was an ordeal consisting of heating pans of water until a large pan was warm enough for a decent sponge bath.

There was an old-fashioned outhouse for the other issue raised.

P.S. My paternal grandparents didn’t get running water installed inside until my dad was a senior in high school. He said it was rather embarrassing whenever he brought someone home after a date.
