That still doesn't make sense to me. Bath water is hot, and you use soap to bathe. The easiest way to get rid of germs and bacteria is to wash with hot water and soap. In other words, after you soap yourself up while taking a bath, you may be sitting in a tub filled with your own grime, but all of your grime is dead.

And baths are for bathing, not relaxing. That's why it's called a bathtub, and not a relaxtub.
