        Shower, probably. Part of the function of soap (and scrubbing) is to dislodge dirt and bacteria, so it gets washed away.

        So you’re either committing genocide by killing them outright, or forcefully relocating them from your body. (also why 99% soap generally doesn’t matter too much compared to regular soap)

          Doesn’t the nature of subsurfacants rip apart most bacteria? That’s what I have always been taught, but my mother supplemented a lot of my education and I have learned she hasn’t always been 100% right… although neither were my textbooks l… so I guess flaws all around

      Showering does kill mites and bacteria that are all over your body. They’re quite resilient though so you’re never really rid of them.
