Sep 7, 2017 at 3:20 comment added slebetman @Jeff: The sentence in the OP clearly meant to convey that he washed with water alone and not with water and soap or water and sand. It is possible to use sand as a "soap". Someone even managed to get funding for such a product on Shark Tank

Sep 6, 2017 at 16:51 comment added Jeff I think people simply washed with sand and no water. I think Bedouin do this -- it might be primarily symbolic in absence of water but it is better than nothing.
