    A wash house is a basin supplied with water generally of natural origin, the primary purpose of which is to allow laundry to be rinsed after washing it. It is most often public, free or paid depending on the municipality, but can be private, attached to a single house or a single farm and can be made available to neighbors for a fee.



    Contrary to a very widespread representation, the washerwomen did not go there most often to wash the linen, but to rinse it there. Going to the washhouse was indeed the last step before drying. Since washing consumed only a few buckets of water, it could take place in homes or laundry rooms where laundry would accumulate before the "big wash", but rinsing required large amounts of clean water, only available in streams or in a captured source. However, there are washhouses with several basins, the upstream basin serving as a rinser, those downstream as a washhouse (washing the laundry itself) or even a drinking trough. (Wikipedia)
