How to wash clothes?

[PeacyVienna]

It´s possible to wash rags, but no clothes like shirts.
The soap has to be in the inventory not in the hand (rags)...
you cant take clothes in the hand - so how to wash a shirt?
Thanks for any advice.

Just gotta jump into a river or lake (not ocean) that's higher then knee height, have the soap in hands and right click on clothing piece.

But my clothes blend in so much better when they muddy and dirty...what’s purpose or benefit of washing clothes?

So I saw this new features but what its usefulness?

I mean, pristine cloths shine more (you are more visible supposedly) than dirty ones and cloths with 0 durability dont despawn...

So why I should wash my cloths?
I see only disadvantages to do it till Durability degradation will have some real effect on cloths (and anyway this would be more bound with ''repair'' that not with wash).

Clean cloths will have something to do with my health in a (hope really soon) future?

It will be more useful once diseases are implemented. And this way you can get clean rags , without the need to wash them one by one.

Old thread, but ability to wash clothes disappeared. I stand in waist-high water with soap in hand, but still can't wash.

Only freshwater works.

Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me? It took an entire bar of soap to was just my underwear? Thats a bit bullcrap if you ask me.
Seriously, WTF man?

Yes, Dev's are aware of the feedback on soap. No need to necro a thread from 2019.

Yeah, the amount of soap needed to wash your clothes is ridiculous. And it didn't help that they reduced the number of uses each soap has. And clothes also get dirty almost immediately anyway. So as it is right now its more or less pointless to wash your clothes.

I mean would you rather necro or have 5 posts of the same thing, either way it won't change what you'll see
