The Bible is often misinterpreted. Some people take verses out of context and twist it into what they believe and that is not what the Bible was intended for. Some scriptures talk of long hair and remaining clothed, so some people believe they should wear skirts and not cut their hair. Another scripture talks of eating meat, so some religious people shy away from eating it.
Never in the Bible does it say DO NOT SHOWER to my knowledge. But if it did I'm sure people would twist it around to mean something different than what the Lord intended ANYWAYS.
God Bless You.

Just because it's not mentioned in the Bible doesn't mean they can't shower.

You ought to read your bible more! It is not a sin to shower with the person you are married to as someone stated in her response!
But He (Jesus)came teaching them something that was very essential, that they might be lifted from sickness and diseases, by cleanliness, as
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness."
It is, because cleanliness takes away a lot of contagious germs, diseases and other undesirable ailments that exist among the people.
Cleanliness will take away immodest and ill-famed tendencies that are created in you when you do not express the spirit of cleanliness. Cleanliness should be established in you from an economic point of view, from a scientific point of view, from a physical, healthful point of view, that you might have health, happiness, vigor and courage; that you might live long upon the land which the LORD your GOD giveth you. This should be done from a scientific and from a biblical point of view. This will you do, if you will but live according to the Scriptures. Where you are committing suicide daily, by the insanitary condition of your surroundings and by refusing to be Godly in the act of cleanliness, you are causing sickness and diseases and other undesirable, immodest and conflicting germs to be created among you. Even germs of immodest habits will rise in you, by having insanitary surroundings. By your surroundings being insanitary, the very spirit of immodesty will result and conditions will be the worse mentally and spiritually, socially and otherwise as well as physically.

Hmm. The INTERNET isn't mentioned in the Bible...neither is Y!A, the telephone, TV, MTV, Rock&Roll, Elvis, France, hot dogs, pizza, airplanes, air conditioning, flossing, and a HOST of other things. Go figure.

yes it is in the bible: here's some examples
Matthew 6:17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
Exodus 30:18-21
18 “You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, 19 for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. 20 When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the LORD, they shall wash with water, lest they die. 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”
Jeremiah 2:22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, Yet your iniquity is marked before Me,” says the Lord GOD.
Exodus 40:30-32
30 He set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water there for washing; 31 and Moses, Aaron, and his sons would wash their hands and their feet with water from it. 32 Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came near the altar, they washed, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And... bathing yourself is mentioned quite a few times.

I think it's pretty much a given that everyone needs to bathe.
