How to Take a Bath
Baths are nice. Whether you bathe to clean up or to relax, a bath can be an enjoyable experience. Buy a bath pillow, lie back, put your legs up on the tile, and relax. Some may say that how to take a bath is obvious, but most of what we know we once learned for the first time.
Steps
1)Take off your clothes and put them in a pile. Then prepare your tub. Make sure you close the door!
2)Find a water-holding enclosure big enough for you to fit in. The obvious choice would be a bathtub, but anything big enough and deep enough will work. Be sure that it is water-tight to avoid leaking (and to keep anything else from getting in). You could use a hole dug in the ground with some form of sealant, or a natural water-holding formation such as a basin within stone.
3)Fill the tub with water. If you have a bathtub built into your shelter of choice, you probably have running water available. If so, turn the faucet on. If not, try using buckets to bring water from your water source to your tub. Fill it until there is enough water to submerge your body in. Keep in mind that the water level will rise by way of displacement when you get in.
4)Choose your water temperature. Cold baths have their appeal for some, but most prefer to Relax With a Hot Bath If you have a water heater, odds are that the water came out of the faucet at the temperature you want. If you don't, you can still heat your water. One way would be to build a fire next to your bath, but you risk turning your bath into soup if this is not done properly. A good way to warm a bath is to build a fire near the bath and keep stones on the fire. When the stones get hot enough, begin placing them in the water (not by hand) and churning the water until the temperature reaches the level you want.
5)Take off your clothing. Get into the bath (slowly if it's hot). Submerge yourself only up to your neck so as not to drown. If you want to dunk your head, go right ahead, but remember that humans breathe air to survive.
6)Relax. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and enjoy yourself. If you'd like, you can use soap and shampoo to wash yourself, but remember that your bath water will be full of dirt and soap after you do. If you have chosen the hot stone method, use whatever tool you have used (instead of your bare hands) to put more rocks in to keep your bath warm. If you're inside, drain some water, then give it a burst of hot water from the faucet. When done, drain your bath and dry off.
Tips
1)If you are taking a bath to relax, try showering to clean yourself and then bathing to relax. This will ensure cleaner bath water.
2)Don't make your tub too big or too deep. You should be able to lie in it without risk of submerging uncontrollably. It should not be so big that it becomes hard to fill or keep warm.
3)You may use bath salts, floating candles, nearby incense, tea leaves, or any other method you want to make your bath enjoyable.
4)Ice in the bath tub will keep you nice and cool. But they will melt after a while.
5)Bathing with a friend can be enjoyable. However, be careful when filling tub with water as not to "overflow" ... remember: your bathing partner will take up space so you will not need to use the normal amount of water.
6)Music adds a nice touch, as long as it is soft. There is a time and place for heavy Rock or Rap music and your bath is not one of them. Try to choose music with calming, uplifting sounds.
7)Candlelight will add another dimension to your atmosphere of relaxation. If you like to read in the tub, choose bathtub literature that is fun and relaxing and won't be any great loss if it gets wet. Magazines may be a good choice.
Warnings
1)Don't fall asleep in the bath. You risk drowning and death if you do.
2)Keep in mind that you are naked when bathing. This may affect your choice of bath location.

You need water (temperature that suits you best, warm to relax, but not too warm), some nice bath foam, rose petals for the water surface and some candles and romantic music. Enjoy! No need to tell that you need a bathroom and a bath, but this can also be done in improvised conditions. After soaking, wash the foam, gently wipe your skin and apply scented body lotion.

3) Get in and relax
4) Wash yourself with soap
5) Get out and drain water
6) Dry off
7) Put clothes back on
8) Continue regular living.
or... just do what my fellow yahoo's said above and you'll be a-okay.
