Why Maintain Cleanliness in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, cleanliness significantly affects NPC interactions. A dirty and unkempt appearance will make people less receptive, hindering your ability to gather information and complete quests. Even with high Speech skills, being unclean imposes a debuff, making successful persuasion checks considerably harder.

How to Clean Yourself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Now that we understand the importance of hygiene, let's explore the in-game cleansing options: troughs, bathing spots, and bathhouses.

Troughs

Commonly found in towns and outposts, troughs provide a basic level of cleaning. Interact with a trough to wash away some dirt and blood from your face. Note that this method doesn't clean your clothes.

Bathing Spots

Located near larger bodies of water like ponds and rivers (for example, west of the Nomads’ and Cumans’ Camps in the Trotsky region), bathing spots offer a more thorough clean than troughs. Simply enter the water to wash both yourself and your clothes, though it won't achieve perfect cleanliness.

Bathhouses

For the most effective clean, visit a bathhouse, usually found in larger towns. While requiring a small Groschen payment, bathhouses provide the most thorough cleansing, removing all dirt and blood from both your body and your clothes. Regular visits to a bathhouse are recommended for maintaining optimal cleanliness.
