Without even washing!!!

Women would bathe only once a year in the spring and men would bathe in Spring and Fall.

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

Correct - before the idea of germs. IIRC there is a western where the old trapper falls in the creek. “My springtime bath came early this year. And got to wash my clothes!”

Regarding rinsing - I skip the rinse. Let the dog lick the suds. Keeps him regular.

Actually, I just learned this about the Brits a few months ago. I used to make sure everything got rinsed down real well. Now if there is a little bit of suds on something where I held onto it, I don’t worry about it. And hot - hot water. The dishes dry faster too.
