Also farmers baths are a thing. A little bit of water, soap, sterilizer in the form of alcohol or vinegar, and rags or baby wipes is all you need to stay clean.
Do not mix soap and vinegar. You will just de-saponify the soap and end up with expensive oil and salt. Vinegar is an acid and soap is a base. Use them separately.

Yes, you learned a new word today:

I’ll just go ahead and keep vinegar out of my bathing process entirely thank you very much.
I prefer alcohol as a sterilizer myself but some people with sensitive skin like vinegar better
Thanks for the clarification, I already do them separate but its good to know and I did learn a new word :)
TIL saponification is reversible… But it’s technically called esterification.
