Just how clean exactly are we getting when we shower?

Are we killing germs or just spreading them? Is it basically only washing dirt off so one could smell good, if one does not use an antibacterial shampoo? 
I was wondering this as I hung my pouf to dry and I realised that it never gets sanitized. Changed every couple months, yes, but it basically just hangs to dry after spreading around some germs.

I want to be actually clean, not dosed in scents to cover it up.

News flash: You are 90% bacteria, 5 trillion animal cells and about 50 trillion bacteria.  They're all over you, living in symbiosis, and in fact being part of your first line of defense against hostile bacteria and viruses.  If you actually did manage to get rid of them, you'd be dead in a few days.  

Antibacterial this-and-that makes the general public feel good about being free of "germs", but does little, if any, good when used in places other than food prep surfaces.
