Re: Wash with sponge?Then why did you suggest it is old and dirty?(Original post by Dalek1099)
Rinsing with water doesn't clean things and what do you mean old soap?-the soap kills bacteria and the sponge might not be fully covered by soap.
It will be clean providing it is rinsed thoroughly.

Re: Wash with sponge?Don't forget you're talking to a guy who, according to a thread he made, lives primarily on garlic bread and cereal. Take from that what you will.(Original post by whyumadtho)

On topic: I used to use a sponge, but they have slowly been phased out of my house, so my hands suffice. -

Re: Wash with sponge?People don't only wash themselves with water.(Original post by Dalek1099)
Water doesn't clean things because only soap can get rid of bacteria.
The flannel is covered in soap and is rinsed afterwards, which means the existing soap will clean it.

Re: Wash with sponge?The flannel will then get covered in loads of bacteria and you often don't end up covering the whole flannel,with soap and this means that as soon as it is rinsed they can just reproduce all over the flannel and washing with water doesn't clean things,unfortunately.It is definitely not more hygienic to wash with a sponge and probably more hygienic to wash without a flannel.(Original post by whyumadtho)

The soap lathers and covers the entire flannel.
It depends on what constitutes 'hygiene'. Hands are less effective at removing dead skin than more abrasive objects like flannels and sponges, so I consider the former to be less hygienic than the latter. -
right armpit.(Original post by Fires)
Which part do people wash first when they get in the shower? With me, it's the belly and then moving up under the armpits. Thoughts? This is a pretty important issue to my mind, maybe even more than the sponge or flannel.
