Me and my boyfriend are having a debate over it.

I think if you actually wash yourself in the bath, they're about equal. However some people (like my son!!) just sit there, as if some magic will suddenly make them clean. Because in a shower the water is constantly moving and clean water is being poured on you, you're going to get cleaner just standing in a shower rather than just sitting in a bath.
But if you actively make sure you wash yourself properly, I think you can get just as clean both ways.
As you can see, I've put a lot of thought into this, I must have far too much time on my hands!

Well, i suppose showers are cleaner as the water runs on and then off you, whereas in the bath, you are sat in water that contains whatever dirt came off you! But, you can soak in the bath, which gives overall better cleaning, and in a shower, the water runs straight down onto you and may not get into all the nucks and crannies (if you get my meaning.....!!!!). I feel cleaner after a bath than when I have had a shower. Its like soaking a crusty baking dish in the sink. It comes out cleaner than if you would just rinse a tap over it!

A shower is much cleaner than a bath. Think about it -- if you take a bath all the dirt that washes off you is floating around in the water with you, but if you take a shower the dirt flows right down the drain.

a shower is cleaner than a bath. a bath is like stewing in your own filth. however, it is quite relaxing with some candles and music. a shower can be relaxing too if it's nice and hot. it is cleaner though because the dirt washes off to the ground, unlike a bath where the dirt is all around you.

a shower is cleaner because your not sitting in your own dirt,but personally i prefer a good long soak in the bath.a shower is good for waking yourself up and feel refreshed,but as long as you wash everyday a bath is by far the best thing to relax, unwind,and pamper yourself.you cant pamper yourself in the shower,i've got a conditioner that has to be left on for 10mins,how boring,standing with your head out of the shower for that long,i like to lie neck high in a nice warm bath.

Yeah for sure. Having a bath is just sitting in your own filth. If I have a bath, I always shower after to wash properly.

depends on your own preferences. some people are always standing while taking a shower or a bath. But I know being in hot water for more then 20 minutes is bad for the skin. It dries the skin too much.

The shower is definately cleaner. A bath is great for relaxing but if you are really dirty you just lie in your own muck.
