    A washandje is good for only having to soap up once. The soap sticks to the cloth so you use less soap. And it scrubs a bit which is nice. Back in the old days you didn’t shower every day, you just washed with one of these at the sink

That's still 2 spoonfuls of yogurt or whatever you paid for and can enjoy.

    Not that the washandje isn't good for showering, it's efficient there, but I suspect it was invented for when people washed themselves at the sink more often (until the sixties lots of cities had bath houses because many homes didn't have a shower or bath or it was removed because of the space needed).
    When it's hot in the summer and I simply can't keep showering I often do a quick armpit wash, and that certainly works better with a washandje than just your hand.

    I didn't realize a "washandje" was a typical Dutch thing
    Also about the bottle licker, it was brought on the market in the 1950s. Only a few short years after the dutch famine at the end of world War 2. People no doubt still greatly valued to have food at all so they didn't want to waste a single drop.

      Yes, the bottle-licker was actually designed to fit perfectly in the glass bottles we used back then. Those bottles were used for yoghurt and “vla” (a kind of pudding but less solid) that were - and still are - staples in the Dutch kitchen. The bottles were closed with a thin aluminum lid. We had to save those lids for recycling because the proceeds of those lids were used for charities.

    @6:58 It's not to wash your hands only.
    I've a bunch of 'washandjes' as well. It's a very useful object when only a solid piece of soap is used to wash your body. When both of them are made wet, the material of a "washandje" easily picks up a thin layer of the soap, which then can be used like shower gel on a sponges.
    And about the "flessenlikker" (bottle licker)...
    When I moved out, this item was one of the first things I've added to my kitchen inventory. 🙈 Especially when you're finishing a carton of yoghurt, a lot of the yoghurt keeps sticking to the sides. With the "flessenlikker" it's easy to scrape everything out of the carton. 💪🏼😎

  • @ishta192
    @ishta192 2 роки тому +2

    A potholder is made out of insulating material. A washandje is a washcloth made out of the same material as a bath towel. The original purpose was to put a piece of soap in it while you are in the shower so it doesn't slip out of your hands. The extra benefit these days is that you can put showergell on it a bit at a time, so you don't spoil a lot of it.

  • @youserawaiting3876

    This "washandje" was very custom in the old days when you had to wash yourself in a small tub or out of a bowl.
    There was no water grid yet and hot water was sold at your door. So, no filling up the bathtub with plenty of warm water. With a washandje you can wash yourself with the little water you have. Other option was the local 'bath house'.

  • @danieloppenheim9270
    @danieloppenheim9270 2 роки тому

    Washandje: in the old days, people had no shower or big bathtubs and washed themselves at the kitchen sink. A washcloth (the 'washandje') makes sure that you don't mess up the place by splashing water all around (you go and try washing your body at a sink, without some washcloth). You would soak the cloth with water, put soap on only one side, squeeze out excess water (over the sink, I might add) and start rubbing the body parts that need cleaning with the soapy side. Then, with a quick twist of the wrist, you turn the cloth on your hand to get the soap free side in front and wipe the soap of the soapy body parts, rinse the cloth under the faucet and repeat the whole process until done. So, there's the two-sided washcloth, brought to you by NL...you're welcome!

  • @williamwilting
    @williamwilting 8 місяців тому

    It's not just a washcloth, but essentially a 'washglove'. This tool is used in a wet state to wash your face, and after that you scrub soap onto it to wash your body. The idea is also that this way you're sparing the amount of soap and water you'd use otherwise.
    The 'potholder' that you're referring to looks a little different. And then we also have what we would literally refer to as 'oven gloves'.

    The thing with a 'bathroom' is that the Dutch would probably define that room in the house specifically as the room with a bathtub and/or shower included. There's not a toilet in every bathroom. So, when the Dutch would go to use the toilet, they'd say "I have to go to the toilet" instead of "Ihave to go to the bathroom." In fact, in many of the more old-fashioned houses the 'toilet' and the 'bathroom' are two separate rooms. Nowadays houses often have two toilets; one in the 'toiletroom' downstairs and one in the bathroom upstairs. In cases like these the Dutch are quite specific at what they mean by certain rooms.
    Another example is the Dutch living room. Most smaller Dutch houses have a living room that is kinda divided in two parts. One part is often literally called the 'eating corner' and the other is literally called the 'sitting corner' (they're not really corners, but I think you'd get the picture. They're equivalent to the separate dining room and lounge/living room respectively, but in the case of these houses together they are often part of the same room, which we would call 'living room'. I don't know how common these 'hybrid rooms are in the US, but they are common in the Netherlands.

    Back in the day the milk man came door to door every week, selling glass bottles. Milk products were luxury products back then so expensive and glass bottles had to be re used. so a tool like that helped use every last bit that was in the bottle in stead of wassing it it out with half the product still in them (not milk, but thick stuff like yoghurt and such) ... it also kept your pantry clean. no unwanted culture growth.

    Like your cat! A washcloth is nice to scrub and not having to put soap on your hands every-time during a shower. Appelboor is handy when making apple pie. The joint roller, I didn't know either. I used to smoke tobacco and hand-rolled my own cigarettes. Stopped smoking about 10 years ago, but sometimes I still roll for elderly who cannot do it themselves anymore. We used to have a flessenlikker at home, I do not own one myself.

    Another nice 'recipe' for the apple core remover is using it on a (big) potato then fill it with herb butter cut of the ends of the core you removed to plug the 2 holes.
    And then wrap it in aluminium foil and pof the potato (roast I guess in English?)
    The melted herb butter get absorbed by the potato from the inside and its alot more delicious then just roasting the potato and put herb butter on it afterwards.

    You may refuse to believe it, but I use a washandje every day. 😀 I like how Dutch this word is too. “Washandje” literal translation: “little washing hand”. By the way, a washandje is NOT used to wash your hands. It is used to wash your face or your body.

    Washandje: we use it, just to wash your whole body with soap. Ideal for kids, put soap in it, and they can easy wash without to care that the soap is gone before they have to use it.
    Appelboor: my parents had it, but I don't have it. You have also one that also cut your apple in precies in the same slice.
    Sigaret machine: I've seen it, 15 year ago on school use other classmates it, but I have never smoke, so I don't have use it.
    Flessenlikker: my parents also use it, but I don't use it. Also I don't buy yogurt in bottles.

    Oh and the video was nice too. It took me until watching the original video a while back to learn that we, the Dutch, have a joint roller. Obviously I'm not from Amsterdam, where it's probably a known gadget. But then again, only 3% of the Dutch population smokes joints and only 40% of that 3% smokes it regularly. Meaning, around 96% of the total population doesn't smoke weed.

I do have a white flessenlikker (not for licking bottles but still for other stuff cartons or little pots). But not really for cans, just give the a good shake. Oh, cleaning your plate, we use our tongue to show our real way to show we like this plate (only informerly, not in reastaurants and with friends, only at home.

We ain't wasting food XD

    A washandje is not to wash your hands with. It's to put your hand in and wash your body with. Use it as a potholder and you'll burn your hands. It's cotton. The apple corer is useful for some Dutch pastries. One is an entire apple wrapped in puff pastry (appelbol) and the other a thick slice in dough fried (appelbeignet). You want to keep the apple whole. Our favorite desert, vla, would come in bottles. Believe you me that we used bottle lickers when we were kids. Also our egg nog ( advocaat) comes in bottles. It's thick so a bottle licker might scrape out an entire extra portion.

    The "washandje" serves 2 main purposes, it saves soap because you only apply it once to the side and rinse your body with it and it also makes it easy to assign to a person, this became important after the second world war where bathing was a luxury instead of daily routine but for some reason it stuck around. We even have a separate configuration on our dryer to dry bathroom equipment, such as "washandjes" now.
