Ruth Goodman on Matters of Hygiene 

In 2023, WHY has Ruth Goodman not been made a Dame of the British Empire? She throughly deserves the UK Royal honour ❤

# Ruth Goodman I wish Ruth, Alex and Peter would make more shows, I would really love to see Domecory in the 1500 -the 1600s That would be amazing.

I just Love Ruth, she is so knowledgeable and truly a treasure!

I’ve learned so much from Ruth over the years.

Ruth Goodman just feels, after all these videos, like a very good friend! Long live Ruth!

A National hero, for sure. Long live RU-vid, that we may always have you to learn from. And learn in many ways, some not so tangible as building castles and managing the muck of the Ages. I admire your work ethic and that of your team's members. Incredible.

HUGE fan of Ruth. Love watching any show she’s in.

What a fascinating account. Ruth Goodman is certainly one of my favorite peoples in this world.

One of my most favourite historians. Mrs Ruth Goodman. Loved her in the absolute history series. Always wished I had a mother like her. Learnt a lot from you Mrs Goodman, thank you.

She is an amazing historian.

This woman got me into from a young age the Victorian way in England, I’m 24 and literally struggling, and her ideas from Victorian farm and pharmacy honestly it’s fascinating, and has helped me a lot, with basic things like🥵😊 I’ll remember everything🙌🏻

What an amazing person Ruth is!

I remember Ruth doing the washing in the Victorian farm 💞

There ought to be a Ruth Goodman Day specifically to cheer us all up. That said, I have used wood ash to strip paint, so bear in mind that it can be pretty fierce stuff.

Ruth is inspiring in so many ways. Not only does she inspire with her love and understanding of history, but she is also inspiring me as a mother. I've just watched Edwardian Farm and am finishing up Victorian Farm; and to see her interactions with her daughter inspires me to better interactions with my own daughter of similar age. Ruth Goodman is just the best!

Her husband must be a saint! Gone for a year at a time to film the 3 eras ? 3 times gone a year? Wow!

I just love this woman, such an interesting knowledge she gives us. She should have her own youtube Channel with her bodies of the show

I love her! She is so enthusiastic about history

I love you Ruth Goodman. Please continue being awesome:-)

Brilliant Ruth. I love listening to your historical work

Fascinating about wood ash and cold water. I have been minimizing laundry loads drastically for some time and prefer to hang-dry all small garments instead of using a dryer. So ... commercial soap was developed ... why again? Perhaps because the timber industry was an enormous industry in-the-making, although the removal of trees devastated the environments everywhere, and TPTB did not want people messing with future profits, trees. Removing people from nature also started a mind set of dependency on commercial products, becoming consumers, and decreasing ancient knowledge such as making wood ash from trees. I bet, too, people who saw or believed in gnomes and fairies, who lived in forests, were then considered witches if they still interacted with trees ...

After reading The Domestic Revolution, I changed the way I did my laundry, saving money and energy. Thank you Ruth! I love social history and the experimental archaeology really brings it to life and is highly engaging.

Ruth is great!

I'm so happy to find this video! I appreciate all of the history and information that you've shared over the years! I've learned so much from you!

ohh i love Ruth :-) loved her in the BBC series on the victorian ages.

I love you, Ruth goodman!

Fascinating!

Thank you

Ruth is so interesting! :)

Fascinating

Red hair and freckles. The best, actually.

To be honest i still have bars of sunlight soap in the house. Im a 42 years old girl from The Netherlands 😉 even got some from my mom in a original wraping wel part of it. That i will not use but is just dit keeps.

Yay Ruth!

Really interesting (and rather unfortunate)! Sound is a bit tricky, though. Bad mic?

Reading the comments I see other people think the same!!!

Could you use wood ash to clean a sheep’s fleece as well?

what about soap nuts?

Was there a gigantic fish tank pump in the background somewhere in this video?! Oh well, didn’t know about wood ash and it’s former import.

So.... is she saying that the idea of modern soap is just a big larp to remove people's ability to clean their laundry for free or........?

Numbers 19:9 “‘A clean man will gather up the ashes of the cow and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and they should be kept by the assembly of the Israelites to prepare water that will be used for cleansing."

Asmr.

She's super hot

No shit bruh
