How to clean clothes in RDR2
There are a couple of ways to clean clothes in RDR2, and they’re incredibly easy. Just choose one of the options below and you’ll be spick and span in no time.
Visit a hotel or saloon with a bathroom
One of the best ways to clean your clothes in RDR2 is to have a bath at one of the many available bathing facilities found throughout the map. They are usually found in saloons or hotels. The first one you are likely to encounter in the story mode is in Valentine, at the hotel opposite the saloon.
Go for a swim in the wilderness
If you’re out hunting with no bath or hotel in your near vicinity, you can always just go for a swim in the wilderness.
You’ll never be too far from a stream, river, or lake in RDR2, so if you get a little muddy crouching around in the wetlands trying to find the perfect shot on those alligators, just take a dip in the water afterwards to wash away all the dirt.
Select a new outfit from your saddle
Perhaps the easiest way to clean your clothes is to select an outfit that you have previously saved to your saddle.
To do this, simply approach your horse and activate the saddle wheel menu. Scroll to the desired outfit you want to change to and select it. The outfit you change into will be clean, so you won’t need to visit a bath or nearby water body.
This even works if you select the same outfit that you are currently wearing.

It’s not possible to clean clothes in RDR2 by going for a bath. The other options will still work, though. So if your character gets dirty, either go for a dip in a nearby river, or change your outfit by using the wheel menu on your horse’s saddle.
