Washboard
Sometimes it can be nice to have clean clothes.
Notes
The Washboard is a simple housing object placed in a 1x2x1 footprint within an enclosed room offering at least 4 m³ of free volume. It contributes 2 Housing Value under the Bathroom category, though adding multiple Washboards to the same room provides diminishing returns (each after the first is worth half the previous). Since it is a low-tier washing furniture piece, it is suitable for early bathroom builds before upgrading to higher-value washing options.
