How do astronauts wash their clothes and shower in the ISS where the water supply is very limited?
In: Engineering
The water is recycled, even urine is recycled. [there’s a shower unit on the space station that they use, though there’s a suction device to remove the water after use. ](http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/our-solar-system/151-people-in-astronomy/space-exploration-and-astronauts/human-spaceflight-current-or-past/949-how-do-astronauts-take-baths-and-use-restrooms-in-space-beginner)
There still isn’t a way to wash clothes in space. Instead astronauts incinerate them during reentry into earths atmosphere.
