A verb required for a situation. #1 (permalink) Wed Dec 12, 2007 20:22 pm   A verb required for a situation.
 

Hi

The other day I tried to say the following sentence to someone in English, but couldn't come up with the accurate verb.

After taking a bath a person can see his/ her hair(s) on the white tiles of the washroom. If he cleans them by using a shower, what verb can be used here? I am sure both of the following sentences are wrong.

Quote:
1- You must wipe your hairs after taking a bath, John.
2- You must flow away your hairs after taking a bath, John.

Hi,

How about: 'must flush away any loose hairs' ?

Many thanks, Alan

Can we also say "wipe the loose hairs?"
