In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the side quest "A Good Scrub" leads to additional bathhouse quests, including the search for a flea-infested item for Betty. Here's a detailed guide on how to find it and progress through related quests.
To initiate the quest, speak with the innkeeper in Kuttenberg about work, which will lead you to Betty, the owner of one of the city's two bathhouses. Betty's bathhouse is located in the southeast part of Kuttenberg. When you meet her, mention that you heard she has work available. She will then ask you to go to Grund to find Matsek.
Matsek is hesitant to be seen with the girls he's supposed to escort to the bathhouse. You'll find him in a courtyard, where three girls are seated at a table. Approach them, inform them that you're there for Betty, and accompany them back to the city.

Upon returning with the girls, Betty will request your help in promoting the bathhouse to attract customers. You'll work with her on a promotional spiel, which you'll then shout at the grain market, horse market, vintners' street, and merchants' street. Ensure you do this during the day, as it won't be effective at night.
Your next task is to clean the bathhouse before the alderman arrives for inspection. Completing these tasks quickly is crucial, as failure to do so will result in the bathhouse being shut down, preventing you from picking up the subsequent quest, "Ill Repute," from Betty.
After successfully passing the inspection, speak with Betty again. She'll mention that the council is deciding on the main bathhouse of the city. To influence this decision, you must make the councillor leave the competing bathhouse. Start by gathering information from Meaty Mary, Katcha, and Little Lida about what the councillor dislikes.
To sabotage the competing bathhouse, you'll need Chamomile Brew to add to the wine cask on its second floor. Additionally, Lida will only reveal the councillor's preference for fragrant oils after you give her a noblewoman's dress from a tailor. You can further disrupt their operations by lockpicking a cabinet on the third floor and stealing the oils.
For the flea-infested item required in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, head to the east gate of Kuttenberg City. Near the gate, you'll find a small camp of beggars. Search the sacks there to find a flea-infested blanket.

Once you have the fleas, return to the bathhouse and go to the same room where you added the Chamomile Brew to the wine. When no one is watching, interact with the baskets in the room and pour the fleas into Councillor Naaz's laundry basket and the clean laundry basket.
If you can't find the flea-infested item, remember that completing just one of the three tasks will be enough to make the councillor leave, allowing you to finish the quest and move on to others like "Axe from the Lake."
