Aren't saunas dry heat? You sweat out the dirt then scrap it off. Seems
very Klingon.<br>

Klingons do not engage in swimming or bathing. Either all Klingons are
perpetually filthy, as admittedly many on the shows appear to be, or they
have some other method of performing basic hygiene. Any suggestions?<br>

Showers are not like swimming. Perhaps not the full-body style, maybe
just a handheld sprayer. And it might include an abrasive component in
the manner of sandblasting rather than a simple detergent, though that's
probably a bit far-fetched.<br><br>
John Ford's Klingons luxuriated in something akin to a sauna. Hot and
steamy works to get clean as well as
dirty.</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" color="#888888"><br><br>
