your teacher wasn't kidding, urine. it contains quite large amounts of ammonia which makes clothes nice and soft. in fact urine was actually used to soften wool.
i'm sure they added something to it to take the smell away though, and just in case you didn't know urine is sterile. |

Maybe, but they were more advanced because they actually had running water and sewers.
They used lye and warm water. |

Yuck! Urine? Not surprised though.

Soap got its name, according to an ancient Roman legend, from Mount Sapo, where animals were sacrificed. Rain washed a mixture of melted animal fat, or tallow, and wood ashes down into the clay soil along the Tiber River. Women found that this clay mixture made their wash cleaner with much less effort.
The ancient Germans and Gauls are also credited with discovering a substance called soap, made of tallow and ashes, that they used to tint their hair red |
