  4. After a 15-minute or so cool-down...
  5. Birdbath in the sink. Water running, splash face, neck, arms, pits, and torso. I use the anti-bacterial foaming hand soap in the dispenser, then splash to rinse.
  6. Dry.
  7. Apply deodorant, and optionally, moisturizer. (That foaming hand soap is something. My face, especially, feels dry and crinkly.)
  8. Put on work clothes.
  9. Dry area around sink so no-one complains. (Water runs down my arms and off my elbows.)
  10. Hang up kit and towel.
My method is virtually the same as the above, except I use a wet washcloth to wipe down my entire body, then I thoroughly remoisten the washcloth with more water and RUBBING ALCOHOL (I like the green wintergreen enhanced) and wipe down my whole body again. The alcohol eliminates any odor causing bacteria and leaves a cooling sensation on my skin. Its very refreshing.
