I've found over my life that the best thing to keep yourself clean is hot water. I rarely ever actually use soap or shampoo. Maybe once a week for my morning showers and after the gym three-four times a week.

I wash my hair with hot water and I scrub my skin with hot water and a loofah bar. I apply a bit of cedar oil or fir oil to my hair in the summer time to keep mosquitoes away but beyond that, I just try not to put too many chemicals on my skin and hair. I smell great, or so I have been told, because my body isn't overproducing oils to make up for what the chemicals strip off.
