    people and children used to clean their clothes with urine because they didn’t have anything to clean it with
    togas used to clean himself really well so when someone sees him he wont smell at all
    they used to take urine from the bathroom so they could feed the animals and birds

    people used to use urine for their clothes because they didn’t have anything to clean it with so that is what they did
    they new that togas would shine after they clean himself and would be clean as a feather
    they would also put pots outside their house so when the people come they can urinate in them
    they would also take urine from other bathrooms which could stink you and would make you never go to the toilet
    human urines were to feed animals and bird so they weren’t left out

    Disgusting Roman Civilization Facts – They Got Nasty with Urine!

    1. People used urine in many ways which we can’t even imagine. One of the milder ways was to use urine for washing their clothes.
    2. They believed that their Togas would shine as new after washing this way. Back then, there was something like dry cleaning, which was called as Fullery and they used urine for the purpose.

    3. There were pots which were kept outside so that anyone who is coming can urinate in that vessel.

    4. They also used to take urine from the public bathrooms. During this time the emperor of Rome, Vespasian taxed urine. Romans changed the meaning of revenue in a totally different way.

    5. The other way they used urine was to cure diseases of animals. Sheep suffering from bile issues was forced to drink human urine and the sheep which was suffering from respiratory issues was given human urine through its nostrils.
    6. Bees and birds were also given urine. Human urine was given to birds to counter bird flu.

    7. They used urine and feces in tanning as well. They used to soak the leather in urine (unadulterated) and they believed that the bacteria present in the feces would make the leather supple. They were used as fertilizers too.

    8. There are records that poop and pee were collected and sold! As said earlier this collection was not free.

    9. They used urine for pomegranates as they believed that the fruits would become tastier and “juicier” if urine was given to the plant.

    10. The worst possible ways they could use urine has to be “teeth whitener”. They believed that using urine as a mouthwash would help to keep their teeth as white as pearls. We won’t dwell much on this topic. Let your imaginations go wild!
