Why Maintain Cleanliness?

Cleanliness affects NPC interactions. A dirty, blood-stained appearance reduces approachability, hindering information gathering. Even with high Speech skills, dirt and grime impose debuffs to Speech and charisma, making persuasion checks significantly harder.

How to Clean Yourself

The game offers three primary cleaning methods: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.

Troughs

Trough Cleaning

Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs offer a basic clean. Interact with a trough to wash away some dirt and blood, but this method doesn't clean your clothes.

Bathing Spots

Bathing Spot

Located near larger bodies of water (rivers, ponds), bathing spots provide a more thorough clean than troughs, partially cleaning your clothes. However, complete cleanliness isn't guaranteed. An example location is west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region.

Bathhouses

Bathhouses, typically found in larger towns, offer the most effective cleaning. For a small fee (Groschen), you receive a complete clean, removing all dirt and blood from Henry and his clothes. Regular visits to a bathhouse are recommended for optimal cleanliness.

This concludes the guide on bathing and cleaning in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. For more game tips and information, visit The Escapist.
