[post_page_title]Bathing isn’t optional – but it’s not our bathing either[/post_page_title]
“Alright,” some of you may be thinking, “but considering how hard taking a bath is without running water, the Amish probably do that a lot less, right?” Well, yes and no. Yes, no indoor plumbing means having to find other solutions, but bathing and cleanliness are just as important to them as they are to us.
More conservative Amish boil some water on a wood-burning stove and fill their bathtubs with it, with the children going first and the father going last with a freshly-filled tub. Still, sects like the Swartzentruber only bathe twice a week, even in summertime.
