How often do medieval peasant bathe? Washing in river and stream is very often. Probably after a day of work. It's not my words. However, many have said so.

Anyway, I think a toggle for dirtiness is totally make sense. It's even less useful than hunger and thirst which we can toggle.

For me, I play Valley map only. I don't really mind. I carry a wash tub and a bucket of water so I can wash if I need to to talk to some one. Try not to run through the bushes too often. My house is next to the main river. I can jump in before talking to wife.

Agreed.

At the very least they need to give some sort of option to wash in any drinkable water source, and not just at player owned wash basins. There are so many streams and ponds that don't have the depth to get you even half clean.

We only seem to wash hands and face in the wash tub, we're not fully submerged in it. Why can't we do the same in streams or other bodies of water that are not deep enough?

I don't mind getting dirty once in a while, especially when doing farmwork, with firtilizing and whatnot, but as it is now, its way WAY too often.

If you are playing 3 day seasons, remember that means each day equals a real month. So washing your face a few times a day make complete sense. Although on the other hand I don't think I have ever had to wash my character multiple times in one day... so not sure what you are doing.

I play with 4-7 day seasons, depends if I'm done with all the quests or not. On a usual season, first day is devoted mainly to fieldwork, as I don't hire farmers. The rest, I run around the entire Valley/Oxbow. Hunting animals/bandits and selling stuff. I wade through almost every deep river and lake, yet a few minutes later, "You are dirty".

A day in MD might equal a month in real time, but to me a day is a day. I can't play pretend and think its anything else than one day.

When you're in the water, keep an eye on your dirt indicator in your inventory, where you'll see the actual percentage. The dirt indicator in the UI only activates once you reach a certain level of dirtiness (please don't ask me what percentage).
In any case, if the water isn't deep enough and/or you don't stay in long enough, only the worst dirt will disappear, but you won't be clean - which is why it doesn't last long.

Give it a try and see if it improves the situation for you.

(In the late game and with three days per season, I usually don't wash at all anymore. )

The indicator will show at 30%. Which is usually when I will go into deep water to reduce dirtiness to 0%, or at least as soon as I'm near any deep water. Some places just don't have any, and its far enough away that I might as well go home and use the tub XD. I always try to check if I'm actually at 0% but more often than not, I forget.

At a certain point, there is very litte I need to do in my villages. it practically runs itself. I do fieldwork and repairs, and whatever little managing needed. The rest of the time I need to be out there, and actively do things. I just find hanging around in my village to be boring, to be honest.

I usually build a wash tub just outside the other villages so I don't have to go half way across the map just to wash myself. Just put it as close to the cart as you can so you know where it is.

The problem for me isn't really how I can clean myself. Especially in the Valley I have small shelters near the most remote villages, like Hornica/Jezerica. Usually near a small stream, so I have water to drink. I place a campfire, wash tub and some times also food/storage for easy access to stuff in case the Herald is there, so I don't have to travel home and back again.

There is a toggle or slider for practically everything else.
