Perineal care is completed at the end of the bath. The anus is a source of pathogens. To prevent the spread of these pathogens to other parts of the body, where they may gain access and cause infection, the perineal area is washed last. Cleaning the perineal area earlier would contaminate the water and the cloth and possibly spread pathogens to cleaner parts of the body.
