They combined animal fat with charcoal ash and stored the resulting mixture in clay containers, creating soaps that worked due to natural surfactants found in animal fat. Surfactants, or surface-active agents, reduce the surface tension of water to remove soils better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a similar fashion, the Egyptians used vegetable oil and alkaline salts to make soap that they used to wash themselves and their clothes. The Greeks, on the other hand, preferred to wash themselves using sand, clay, or ashes. They followed this by applying a thin layer of oil and scraping it off with a metal blade to remove dead cells from their bodies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the path of Egyptians and Babylonians, the Romans greatly prompted cleanliness by building public baths and making soap out of animal fat, ash, and water.

The streets were strewn with all sorts of households and bodily waste and sewage systems were non-existent. The sheer lack of knowledge associating improper hygiene and disease drove this attitude during this period. Consequently, this era also saw the emergence of many diseases\u2014dysentery, malaria, diphtheria, flu, typhoid, smallpox and leprosy\u2014that led to many deaths. Even more bizarre is that in the 1500s, people in Scotland used stale human urine as a cleaning agent for laundry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c29a7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c29a7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Also read:<br \/><br \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03a73b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"03a73b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/zh\/what-are-surfactants-and-why-it-is-important-to-cleaning\/\">What are Surfactants and Why It is Important for Cleaning?<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/zh\/a-chemical-cleaning-introduction-cleaning-chemical\/\">A Chemical Cleaning Introduction \u2013 Choosing The Right Cleaner<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/zh\/how-effective-microfiber-cloth-really-is\/\">How Effective Microfiber Cloth Really is?<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c1cd866 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c1cd866\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3f4a90e\" data-id=\"3f4a90e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7c007f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a7c007f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Early Modern Era (1500s-1700s) <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-076d4ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"076d4ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Once scientists established a connection between hygiene and defence against disease\u2014in 1670\u2014people learned the importance of hygiene, and attitudes towards its maintenance changed drastically.

However, these were taxed as luxury items and reserved mainly for the wealthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of the era, in 1782, Henry Sidgier was awarded the first British patent for a washing machine that used rotating drums.

So, the motto that businesses opting for greener models, including ORAPI,\u00a0 live by is to protect what we have and bring back what we lost to advance a more sustainable future so that everyone can thrive. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ff06c8a elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ff06c8a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-41d2973\" data-id=\"41d2973\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3879ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e3879ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Download Your Risk Assessment Checklist Booklet<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8001324 elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8001324\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjE3MTAzIiwidG9nZ2xlIjpmYWxzZX0%3D\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">DOWNLOAD NOW!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-27ce0c8\" data-id=\"27ce0c8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12c15f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"12c15f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"536\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-risk-assessment-booklet-for-cafe-and-restaurant-01.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-17092\" alt=\"kitchen risk assessment booklet for cafe and restaurant-01\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-risk-assessment-booklet-for-cafe-and-restaurant-01.png 536w, https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-risk-assessment-booklet-for-cafe-and-restaurant-01-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-risk-assessment-booklet-for-cafe-and-restaurant-01-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-risk-assessment-booklet-for-cafe-and-restaurant-01-510x510.png 510w, https:\/\/orapiasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kitchen-risk-assessment-booklet-for-cafe-and-restaurant-01-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The history of cleaning is a long one, dating back thousands of years to ancient Babylon.
