Strip Washing

When I go away for a couple of nights to meet family or friends I never use the shower as I need someone to be in the house when I shower in case I fall or feel unsteady.
I use some large wet sheets called Omnitex bath and bed wipes. I have used others but can’t remember their name.
I buy them from Amazon and I feel very clean all over.

I do remember strip washes though, we used to say ,wash down as far as possible, then up as far as possible, then wash possible.

Good morning,

We are having our bathroom replaced at the moment.
It’s our only bathroom.
Luckily have a separate toilet.
We’re having to strip wash, at the kitchen sink.
It got me thinking is there anyone out there who strip washes, rather than having a bath or a shower or maybe to save water? 🫧🛀🚿
