SCUM How to Wash Clothes
Written by Rahul Gupta
To wash your clothes in SCUM, place the item near a water source, hold F on it, and choose the Wash option. You must have soap in your inventory or in your hand for this to work.
Not all water spots will work. You need to be next to a river, lake, or similar clean water source. The ocean won’t count. Once the item is on the ground next to the water, stand close to it, hold F, and select Wash from the menu that pops up.
You must have a bar of soap either in your hand or your inventory. If you do not have soap, the wash option will not appear.
After you clean the item, it will no longer be dirty and can help with keeping your character healthy. Dirty clothes can raise your risk of infection or illness if left unchecked.
You can wash any wearable item this way... jackets, shirts, pants, and more. It helps reduce dirtiness that builds up over time, especially if you're moving through swamps or getting into fights.
Final Blurb
Washing clothes in SCUM is simple but easy to miss. Just add water and soap, and your gear is fresh again.
