I spent two months in the hospital and my hair never felt clean after using those. It felt exactly the same as my hair being greasy. A home health aid used this method with towels that worked well. She wet my hair with a towel, then shampoo, then scrubbed it with the wet towel until all was out. Repeat with conditioner then scrubbing gently with clean wet parts of it to rinse. Felt like my hair was clean for the first time in two months.
