No. Full baths were not taken frequently, but washing of hands and wrists, face, teeth and feet were often done on a daily basis. Lack of regular bathing reflects the inconvenience of filling a tub with sufficient hot water, not a lack of hygiene. Soap was used depending on social circumstance: the aristocracy used expensive soap balls imported from Venice, and moderately affluent households made their own perfumed soap.Teeth were cleaned by first rinsing the mouth with water and vinegar, and then rubbed with a dry, linen cloth. Tooth-picks were also used. Hair was regularly combed and washed in perfumed water, and sometimes treated with a paste of fuller's earth to remove dirt and grease. Beards were groomed and lathered with soap before shaving with a razor.
