And how do you wash them? Can they go in the washer? Or do you just throw them out when they get too old?

Washcloths get rinsed with soap and water during use too, but they get pretty nasty quickly if not put through the wash.

Just rinse them with warm water. They are washed constantly when you fill them with soap and use them. I throw mine away when it loosens up.

I don't know where you live, but a daily shower was a requirement to stay in my parents home in the 1930's. In the 1940's hygiene was about the same as today. The possible exception being that we worked harder than you, so we bathed more often. My grandparents had back brushes in the early 1900's Also most of the items you described as being owned by the very rich. They were farmers and had a windmill pump water to a tank on the roof. Running water, showers, indoor baths, and flush toilets. The wood stove heated the water too. I don't know who you are using for information, but you are mis informed. There are a lot of poor people today that are doing without these things. More than in the 1920's

I run mine through the washer when I wash my load of towels. After washing, I hang it in the shower to drip dry. After they get loosened up, I just buy another. You can get them at DollarTree and not have to pay the big price tag.

I wash mine really well once a week and let it dry out. If you put in the wash, the agitation with other articles will tear it apart. They are so cheap that if you are really worried, go buy new ones.

I tend to throw them out when they get looser and are not bunched up as tight. Never thought about washing them since they are used in hot water anyway.

You should replace shower puffs after 1 month. :D
