I'm afraid I didn't get what you wrote, should we say the sentence you wrote as a question?

See this definition of the idiom. Is this what you're looking for?

My friend got home and took a shower. Now he is squeaky-clean.

Thank you but what I want to say is hoping that he is in a good mood after the shower.

No idioms come to mind, but I think I'd phrase it as a question, rather than a statement:

Feeling better?
Feel refreshed?

Oops! I imagined a fish being clean/fresh as it always lives in water. I should stop imagining too much, I think.

In the west a fishy smell is not a pleasant one, which is why a fish would not be considered clean or fresh.

Possibly: He got out of the shower feeling 'as good as new'.

It refers to being clean as well as being refreshed; it doesn't specifically imply good humour, but it certainly suggests you feel much better than you did before your shower.

Hello everybody
I think dear keramus means something like "God bless you' which people say to each other after sneezing! Is there any idiom to say after someone takes a shower or bath?
Thank you

Thank you. Your statement clarified what I wanted to say.

My understanding that this is a different type of fresh. This is fresh as in well-rested. I will check the dictionary.

I Googled "fresh out of the shower feeling" and Google corrected me and said, "Did you mean:fresh outta the shower feeling"

I think fresh outta the shower feeling is the best idiom available.

My Chinese roommate in college used to refer to "clean as a pig" (apparently pigs lived in very sanitary conditions in China, not so in the USA). That phrase would not travel well in the West.

MrP, it seems that keramus is looking for an automatic comment Person X might make when (s)he sees Person Y emerging from a shower.

. Oops, sorry, that wasn't well expressed. I meant "when (s)he sees Person Y who has just had a shower".

Then I would say something like, "Hair still wet from the shower". (That, and the absence of body odor are the only two tell-tales I know of about a shower--or a bubble bath.)

Or "You have that fresh outta the shower look..."

Loob said:

MrP, is that really something you'd say to the freshly-showered person automatically - on a par with the "Bless you" we say to someone who's just sneezed?

Ah, now I understand. I that situation, assuming it was a member of the opposing sex , I would just take a deep sniff of the air and smile. "Smells nice" would be sufficient.

In almost all other situations I think no comment is the best comment.

Yes, an absence of comment works for me too.

I might say, politely, "Did you have a nice/good shower?" But that's far from being the automatic response keramus was (I think) looking for....

Hello everybody.
Do English speaking people have an idiom to say when someone has just taken a good shower/bath?
For example, my friend got home ( after working) and he took a shower. The shower put him in a good mood and relaxed him. Is there an idiom to say when he comes out of the bathroom?
Thank you in advance.

I have the same question.
But I think you misunderstood my friend.
In Iran when we see someone has just taken a bath we usually wish them health by saying "bless you" exactly the same expression being used for someone who sneezes.
I wonder if there's such an expression (custom) to wish health for a person who comes out of bathroom.
???????

In the USA most people bathe often enough that there is no visual clue that they have taken a shower.

Perhaps if you were in the habit of bathing once a week, the difference would be noticeable.

But to use a phrase that essentially means, "Oh, I see you've taken a bath" would likely be seen as an insult.

No, there's no equivalent, Rezaaaaa.

Absolutely not. We don't have any special expression to say to someone who has had a haircut or bought new clothes or acquired a new car, etc. either .

You've never been new-carred? New coiffed?
