There is no indoor plumbing or bathrooms. The kitchen has a hand pump for washing hands and faces. Bathing is done in a large tub in the wash room or wash house. It was while discussing bathing that L took offense, and spoke out about what she said was a common mistake regarding the cleanliness of the Amish.

Do Amish people have bathrooms in their house?

Most Amish homes are laid out in basically the same way. They have a large kitchen and combination dining area, a living room, and normally the parents bedroom on the main floor. Side rooms are attached for summer cooking use, and many had separate wash houses. There is no indoor plumbing or bathrooms.
