Title says it all for the most part. But let’s say the time frame is the 13th century just for the sake of narrowing down a specific time. I know that the romans would use a sponge on the end of a stick (And yes I know the eastern Roman Empire was long gone by the 13th century just wanted to add that cause I’m sure if I didn’t someone else would) I’d like to know what impoverished people who lived in very rural areas ended up doing.
