Translation for "grease-remover" to spanish
Translation examples
Legend wrongly credits him with the invention of public urinals. They already existed, but it is true that he literally taxed urine: wool producers used it as a grease remover, and, to be sure they had enough at their disposal, they placed jars in front of their workshops where the locals were encouraged to empty their chamber pots.
La leyenda le atribuye erróneamente la invención de los mingitorios,9 que ya existían, pero es cierto que, literalmente, gravó la orina: los fabricantes de lana la utilizaban como desengrasante y para que no les faltara colocaban delante de sus talleres vasijas donde invitaban a los vecinos a vaciar sus orinales.
