Best bath tool ever


I recently discovered the best bath tool ever.  A plastic squeeze water bottle.

Here are some instances it would be helpful...
1.  In the hospital and they need to have bed baths
2.  In the bathtub to keep water from squirting in their eyes
3.  They peed through their brief in bed and need a quick bed bath, but not a full bath

Here are the steps I take to get her pee cleaned up in bed

1.  I have her bed layered to start with.  (1.  A plastic mattress cover      2.  fitted sheet      3.  chux on middle half of bed      4.  flat sheet (top sheet) going sideways over bed on top of chux)

2.  Roll her over onto her side and roll wet top sheet and chux under her and at the same time put several layers of new chux down under her

3.  Roll her back the other way onto her side and finish removing wet sheet and chux and finish placing several layers of chux under her.

4.  Get water bottle filled with warm water and get soap and washcloth and towel (opt.)

5.  Roll her onto her side facing away from you

6.  Squirt her back and bum with the warm water (Try to keep hair dry and bed dry)

7.  Wash her back and bum with soap/washcloth

8.  Rinse using the water bottle

9.  Soak up water with additional chux

10.  Dry her off with chux (you can use a towel, but I have lots of chux so why create more laundry?)

11.  Remove wet chux from under her
