Not necessarily true. Sometime, take a sample of your bathwater,let it settle-out, have it analyzed, and get a printout of what's in it. You'll be surprised.

Bathwater is a less-than-appetizing cocktail of soap, shampoo, dead skin cells, bacteria and germs, often with a splash of urine thrown in. But as unpleasant as it sounds, a few sips probably won't make you sick — the amount of water in the tub typically dilutes anything potentially dangerous.

Do baths clean you?

The short answer: it depends on how clean your tub is. ... Of course, this isn't even including the bacteria and germs your body brings into the tub. If you aren't cleaning out your bathtub or rinsing yourself in the shower after you bathe, your bath is basically covering yourself in your own filth (yuck!).

I would assume anyone would typically clean their bathtub on a consistent basis. I know I do
