As a family we have decided that we want to start washing regularly and, after a wet week in the Lakes without any proper kit, I realise we need to get some comfortable and suitable kit for washing during the winter months.

The last time I washed regularly it was simply a case of soap (Pears) or bubble bath however I see now there is lots of kit such as shower gels, exfoliators, conditioners etc.

We won’t be washing vast amounts (probably around twice a month in the Yorkshire Dales, Moors etc) so don’t want to go overboard, but can anyone advise if I should get showergel (could these get too sticky) or should we be looking at more conventional washing solutions and/or conditioner? And where is best to get reasonably priced stuff? Decathlon looks pretty good?

Carbolic soap.
Rinse the coal dust out of the bath first.

Get a bit tub of degreaser and liberally apply all over the family. We use an old stick (previously a paint stirrer) to flick it at each other.

Good stiff brush for behind the ears.
