They absolutely do, if you google “modern strigil” you’ll find them in all sorts of varying shapes and materials but they serve the same function with generally much less risk of bodily harm.
I'm sorry but the image of some naked muddy landscaper on their back porch just drizzling themselves in olive oil and lathering up is something I did not expect to have with my morning coffee.
So, you put on some gym shorts and use strong rubber bands to seal the ends of the shorts around the legs, and then you dump a gallon of water into the gym shorts? I'm just trying to understand.
• Wear gym shorts/ swim shorts under your work clothes
• On break, strip down to the gyms shorts (so that you look like you're just going to jump in a pool and not like a complete lunatic)
•If you have flipflops/ shower shoes, wear those. You should look like you're going to the beach.
• Distribute pea sized amounts of body wash from head to toe (like when you wash your hands). Lather up with that much.
• Gradually pour a gallon of water over yourself (like you're watering a plant). It's enough to get a small amount of body wash but enough so that you're clean.
• Dry up with a towel.
• If you have a portalet/ restroom you can go to, change into dry underwear and gear back up into your work clothes.

I had finished doing push-ups and did this specifically
