Anyone know if scrubbing with water alone is better or worse than not doing anything? I’ve occasionally ended up in public bathrooms with no soap and I wonder if I should use water or not.
Yes, scrubbing with water is still useful. Besides being a detergent, what soap does is raise skin pH to make it less likely that bacteria can grow on the surface.

Better than nothing. Water is a great solvent and will get rid of larger particles. Use hot water to dislodge more oily things.
