I am French and live in Denmark, but have been many times to the UK, so I’ll give this a try. About the dishes, the same applies in Denmark. You wash the dishes in soapy water and don’t rinse them. On the other hand, you dry it right away (vs. letting it air-dry), which would remove the excess soap. I think this is a common practice in many countries where water is expensive and people try to be environmentally conscious (at least, this is what I was told by several Danes). About the bathing and other practices, I have no idea. But then again, I’m rarely in the same room as people when they bathe!

I guess that me not knowing what a washcloth is says it all! I am French and live in Denmark, so I will try an explanation at ‘European bathing practices.’ I suppose a washcloth would be some towel-like piece of fabric that you would use to soap your body with? There is no such device in European hotels. I guess that ‘soaping practices’ differ greatly from one person to another: some wash themselves with nothing else than their bare hands, some use sort of ‘towel gloves’ (maybe that’s a washcloth?), some use natural sponges, loofahs or any other device, depending on the ‘scrubability’ strength. So, that said, it would be difficult to cover all options in a hotel. But secondly, I would say that all these ‘devices’ are considered very personal, and yes, people do carry them when travelling. I personally wouldn’t use anything like that if it was offered in a hotel, as I would feel like using someone else’s toothbrush.
