In Victorian workhouses, children typically washed infrequently, often only once a week. Facilities for bathing were limited, and hygiene standards were generally poor due to overcrowding and inadequate resources. As a result, many children suffered from skin diseases and poor health as a consequence of insufficient cleanliness. The overall focus was more on labor and discipline rather than proper care and hygiene.
