You know what? I think we did. No more ring-around-the-collar!
Stellar achievement. Yay humanity!

I think a few things changed.
1. Materials technology made clothing more stain resistant
2. Advances in detergents and washing machines
3. Better personal hygiene

When I was a kid (and I'm only 52) it was common practice to have a bath *once a week* usually on a Sunday. The rest of the week you had a soap and flannel at the bathroom sink. Most homes didn't have a shower installed.
So people were just more dirty in general.
Not smelly, just grimy!
