Washing is a method of cleaning , usually with water and soap or detergent. Regularly washing and then rinsing both body and clothing is an essential part of good hygiene and health.
Often people use soaps and detergents to assist in the emulsification of oils and dirt particles so they can be washed away. The soap can be applied directly, or with the aid of a washcloth or assisted with sponges or similar cleaning tools. In social contexts, washing refers to the act of bathing , or washing different parts of the body, such as hands , hair , or faces. Washing can also refer to washing objects. For example, washing of clothing or other cloth items, like bedsheets, or washing dishes or cookwear.
Keeping objects clean, especially if they interact with food or the skin, can help with sanitation. Other kinds of washing focus on maintaining cleanliness and durability of objects that get dirty, such washing one's car , by lathering the exterior with car soap, or washing tools used in a dirty process. People wash themselves, or bathe periodically for religious ritual or therapeutic purposes [ 6 ] or as a recreational activity.
In Europe , some people use a bidet to wash their external genitalia and the anal region after using the toilet , instead of using toilet paper. More frequent is washing of just the hands , e. Hand washing is important in reducing the spread of germs. Brushing one's teeth is also essential for hygiene and is a part of washing. Ritual purification through washing includes acts like Maundy , a Christian ritual involving washing of the feet, or ceremonial washing in Judaism.

Bathing is the immersion of the body, wholly or partially, usually in water, but often in another medium such as hot air. It is most commonly practised as part of personal cleansing, and less frequently for relaxation or as a leisure activity. Cleansing the body may be solely a component of personal hygiene , but is also a spiritual part of some religious rituals. Bathing is also sometimes used medically or therapeutically, as in hydrotherapy , ice baths , or the mud bath.
