Anne felt that they were leading a far better life than those who were not in the hiding. Still she was of the opinion that their style of living was low. Despite their efforts to keep it spotless, the annexe was dirty and their sheet had more holes than cloth in it. On the other hand, the van Daans had been sleeping on the same flannel sheet which could not be washed as the detergent was in short supply. Whatever detergent was available was of a poor quality and hence practically useless. Mr. Frank used to walk around in frayed trousers and his tie also showed signs of wear and tear. Mrs. Frank and Margot shared the three undershorts whereas, Anne’s vests had grown small.
