The preterite is used if this refers to a single action or event—that is, the person took a bath last night. Me bañé = "I took a bath" The imperfect is used if this refers to any sort of habitual action—that is, the person took a bath every morning. Optionally, solía bañarme can specifically express "I used to take baths".
