Do you use a washcloth? What race are you?

Oh, I'm white.

Ditto.

Are washcloths a racial thing?

Haven't read through all pages, but this was a minor plot point in new season of Atlanta.

I'm white, no washcloth. But when I was a kid my (white) aunt gave them to me. When I said I didn't use, she said I should, since just the bar is gross.

I always give washcloghs to guests and leave out shower gel.

I'm white, always use a washcloth. We called them "washrags" when I was a kid. A washcloth makes me feel cleaner.

I use washcloths to wash what isn’t in the water. So, if I’m standing at the sink and want to wash my face, I’d use a washcloth. If I’m sitting in a bath, I’d ise a washcloth. If I’m in the shower, I don’t use a washcloth. Basically, it soaks up the water and efficiently carries it where I want it. I may even use one to try to clean a small spot off the shirt I’m wearing, if I’m a klutz and drop something on it.

I’m white.

White man. Never use one.

White woman. I use one to wash my face each night. In the morning shower I use a shower pouf. I use a washcloth on my kids during their baths.

I'm white. I have always used a washcloth as taught by my parents and grandparents.

I now use those plastic net scrubbies because they foam the soap better. They are washed after every use.

I judge you if you don't use a washcloth. You aren't clean.

Microbiologist here. No washcloth. Hands are ideal. Everything is full of soap, and all skin is scrubbed, so no contamination can happen.

You may not be aware of the teeming multitudes of bacteria that reside in your washcloths.
Do you use a fresh one each time you wash? If so, no problem.

And no need to wash your bottom with a different washcloth either, unless you are a very poor wiper.
Soap and mechanical friction takes care of everything.
At the end of the shower or bath, there are no enteric bacteria on your hands.

Yep, never use washclothes. You'd have to chuck it in the washer after every use. Just lather with hands.
