Fuller
The Fuller or Walker was responsible for cleaning cloth to remove oil and dirt before the textile process was completed. They would hand wash every piece of material before sending it along to a factory where it could be bound together to create clothing and other items that required fabric. The job originally entailed walking on and using your feet to remove chemicals, as seen in this depiction from 1770. The job was eventually replaced with automated tools that work more quickly and didn’t require any type of possible human error. Automation wins yet again!
