rags are unhygienic. bacteria washed from the body live in there when you aren't using it. you need a lufa or brush dude.

A long hot shower can leave you feeling squeaky clean, but in reality that may not be the case. Recent research suggests that
millennials love body wash and shower gel, but the pouf we’re pouring it onto may be positively crawling with germs!
Loofahs have bacteria, so much bacteria in fact, that using one could defeat the very purpose of your shower. I know, I know, I’m grossed out too.
Research dating as far back as 1994 has found that loofahs, those natural scrubbers made from a tropical species of cucumber fiber, make the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. The study published in the
Journal of Clinical Microbiology found that loofahs can transmit potentially pathogenic species of bacterial flora to the skin that under the right circumstances may even cause an infection.
When you lather up to exfoliate by scrubbing away dead skin cells, they get caught in the nooks and folds of the sponge. The humid, damp, and relatively undisturbed environment of the shower allows the bacteria to multiply before your next rinse. The bacteria feeds on the organic matter trapped in the loofah, and every time it does not dry properly the bacterial colony continues to bloom. Sadly, applying antibacterial wash to the loofah and rinsing it out after each use doesn't count for nada if you’re not regularly disinfecting it.
