Nope, I just use a bar of Dove soap and rub it on my skin, then use my hands to create lather and rub it in. Occasionally I like to use the liquid stuff to smell good since my soap has no scent, and I still just use my hands. lol
I use two different towels to dry off, one for just my face, and one for my body and hair, and the one for my face is kept away from the one for my body so they never touch. I have really acne prone skin, and I'm convinced that even though I have just washed myself there is a certain amount of bacteria that stays on your skin, especially in places like your arm pits and groin. If I use a towel to dry my face that has never touched places like those, I feel I'm less likely to get bacteria on my face to cause more acne.Originally Posted by GingersMom
I use TWO washcloths! One for face, one for body!
Will they stand up to a cycle on hot? If not you may see if you can put them in boiling water as that should kill most bacteria, eukaryotes, archaea, etcOriginally Posted by Pami
I use a washcloth and a Buff Puff. Its more abrasive than those poofy things. I have several Buff Puff's and am always buying them, too.
Yes, I only buy white towels, hand towels and wash cloths. I do a load everyday with the Buff Puffs and wash them and rinse them on hot. They actually last a long time, too going through all of that heat. I dry them also.Originally Posted by strange_wings

Im the same way. I only buy white sheets, too. I have to have them as clean as they can get. Plus they are always white because anything that gets on them can be bleached out.Originally Posted by kara_leigh
I only buy white towels also. That way I can bleach the heck out of them and get rid of the germies. LOL We used to have colored towels and it drove me nuts that I couldn't bleach them. It took me until we moved into this house 3 years ago to convince my husband that white towels would be better. He was convinced they would stain, but they look brand new. Well, except our mats which have specks of hair die on them. LOL
The people that I used to nanny for only used white sheets and I loved them. I still haven't convinced hubby to get those yet, but I'm trying. Maybe I'll just go out and buy some and not tell him. LOLOriginally Posted by Pami

Mine have always come clean. Occasionally I will wear makeup and then take a hot shower that night and forget to wash my face. The now wet makeup will wipe off on my towel. I have never had a problem with it coming off.Originally Posted by strange_wings
Does makeup (foundation) bleach out of white wash clothes well? I've had problems with it staining them, so usually use beige ones to wash my makeup off.
I rinse mine out real good after I use it, and I make sure it doesn't sit in the tub where it'll stay wet afterwards. It also goes in the wash at the end of the week along with everything else.Originally Posted by strange_wings
I use a washcloth - and a clean one every time. Those poofs and anything that you reuse are gross! Has no one ever looked at one and seen the dried skin and soap scum in it?I wonder if I could find any info online about how much bacteria and mold could be growing in one of them?

Don't take this the wrong way, but can I call you Mrs. Clean?IIRC, you're very very picky about how clean the rest of your home is, too. Not that this is bad, I just don't know how you keep up!
If I can keep the kitchen and bathrooms spotless I'm generally satisfied.
