Although those items are not cheap and difficult for the lower-class civilians to afford, the various cleaning products invented by alchemists have greatly enriched the quality of life for the wealthy class. This is why the upper class in this world, the ladies and young women, can keep themselves fragrant and clean, unlike the stinky conditions of ancient Europe on Earth in the past.
Speaking of which, when I married Olivia last year, among the vast amount of congratulatory gifts given by Princess Ines, there was a box of everyday alchemy products similar to high-end soap, produced in the distant Empire of Seralir. Leon casually tested them in the Mage Tower and confirmed there was no "human content," and that they were merely composites of minerals and herbal materials. After that, he distributed them for everyone to use, and Olivia, Elena, Lena, and the other women in the family all loved the fragrant bath soap.
