How to clean up after a bath at West Shore Baths

WASHINGTON (AP) A bath at a Washington-area West Shore bath house is helping people who wash their hands often clean up.

The store has installed a shower and shower towels, and the soap is available for use.

The water is being stored at the facility’s tap.

It is especially worrisome in the Midwest, where many people live.
