Things can often get messy in Baldur's Gate 3. I don't mean choosing the wrong dialogue option or accidentally messing up your Honor Mode run. I'm talking about blasting a crew of goblins with a fireball and having their blood and guts splash onto you. Coupled by the fact that you're mostly living in the wild, your party is bound to get a little dirty and smelly.
It's not a live service game.
Sure, you can perform a long rest to clean yourself off before the next encounter, but who has the time for that when there are places to go and Illithid to kill? In another instance of Larian having an answer but not telling the players, it turns out that you can use a sponge tray to clean yourself off and remove any nasty smells.
Based on a Reddit post by TwistedCKR1, it turns out that a lot of Baldur's Gate 3 players didn't know that the Sponge Tray was a reusable item that would clean you up and remove any smell on you. I admit, I didn't know this myself and spent many romance scenes with Lae'zel covered in blood. But I think she liked that....
