The wash cloth is the greatest thing. You must use them. I love clean, fresh smelling washcloth people. I’m tired of the grungy nose ring wearing, ragged clothing non self scrubbing people. I have a car just so I don’t have to ride the bus with all those ‘only rinse themselves’ people.

PS: Please don’t leave pubes on the soap, use a washcloth.

My step-daughter thinks she doesn’t need to use a washcloth either…even though the pungent smell of BO follows her right out of the bathroom after she has bathed. She will argue to the death that she bathed well. The use of a washcloth has been strictly enforced with her because the rest of us don’t like gagging on the way to work and school every morning because of the odor. Smelling her makes me consider my washcloth my best friend!

My ex-husband used a washcloth and towel for one week before discarding… (his mom’s way)…he even hung a rack on the bedroom door to keep me from throwing the items in the daily wash. (Don’t touch my towel!!!)
I was brought up to use clean washcloth(s) and towel(s) each bath time and I still follow this routine. One cloth for face and body and a clean one for the perianal area). I have a daughter who will use the same items forever if I don’t take them down. Washcloths scrub off dead skin cells and embedded dirt (I like bare feet in the house), and eliminate the need to defoliate one’s face. Moms like them because they scrub better than hands, (look at a dirty one after you’ve finished washing feet).

[...] Or my thoughts on this whole Washcloth Conspiracy where people insist you have to use a washcloth in the shower… [...]

My husband and I have been having the washcloth debate for years. Without going into detail, there is no way to get the ears and perianal area clean without one! As for using the same one over, yuk! I don’t know how many we have for our 3 person household, a stack of about a foot high when the laundry is all done and folded, not a big job. If you got clean with a washcloth, the bath towel should be o.k. for a second shower if you are sure it was yours. Personally, I wash the bar of soap off before I rub it on my washcloth not knowing where it’s been since I share the shower with an anti-cloth male.

Washcloth Ettiquette 101- if you use a washcloth, you must use 3! One for your face, one for your body and the other for your- u know, privates, because the next day you don’t want to take your booty cloth and be wiping your face with it! I personally have given up this ritual and just use the bar- i’m so fresh and clean.

How do you get your ears clean without a washcloth?

Well, I soap up my fingers, rub around my ears, and rinse. Ta-da!

:O)

How do you get your ears clean without a washcloth? I use a different washcloth every day. They’re small, don’t take up mcuh room in the laundry.

A bigger problem–dishtowels. I never use them, but people keep giving them to me. I use paper towels, because I enjoy desecrating the environment. A girl’s gotta get her kicks where she can.

I too am a lover of the “poof”. Um… wait… that doesn’t sound right… but you know what I mean.

And Pauly, upon reading about your kitchen sponge habit, I must say I’m amazed to finally have found someone even more anal that I. I don’t trust any one else’s ability to properly clean out the sponge when they’re done using it, so in this house I have my own sponge and the person I live with has his. He thinks I’m crazy. Then again, my kitchen sponge NEVER smells.
