Lather, ___, repeat (5)

I believe the answer is:

rinse

(Other definitions for rinse that I've seen before include "Cleanse in water" , "Use water to remove soap" , "Flush" , "Remove soap with clean water" , "Wash without using soap" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The New York Times.
