Bathing Culture

Despite the fact that they don’t have running water, the Amish are not generally unclean. In fact, they are very religious and value good hygiene. However, since having no running water is an inconvenience, it means that they do not bathe every day.

Baths are somewhat of an important ritual that happens only once a week and is usually reserved for Saturdays. They proceed to heat water on a stove and fill a large tub, then each member of the family takes turns using the bath.
