いいえ、体を洗う時だけ使って、お風呂の中には入れないでください。

いいえ、からだをあらうときだけつかって、おふろのなかにはいれないでください。

No, please only use it when washing your body, and do not put it into the bathwater.

Gesture & etiquette

Point to the small towel and then to the bathwater, looking questioning.

Putting the small towel (tenugui) into the bathwater is generally considered bad etiquette. It should be placed on your head or beside the bath.
