Fullers of Ancient Rome (The Clothes Cleaners of Rome)

Did you know that the laundromats of ancient Rome used urine as a detergent? This video is all about the fullers of ancient Rome and how the Romans got their clothes cleaned. The fullers of ancient Rome were launderers who washed the clothes of the city and also finished processing fabric later made into clothing, blankets, or other necessary items.
