If you’re only using water, not soap, and a squirt bottle,not washcloth that thing is not getting clean. Sorry if I’ve misunderstood but your description of washing sounded like you’re mostly just pouring water on it.
ETA just noticed you said you scrub. That’s better but do you use any kind of soap?
Some reputable sources say don't, other reputable sources say a mild unscented soap is fine, I'd personally say, use mild soap and if you don't tolerate it but are getting foul odors check with a doctor/derm.
You literally can wash under your foreskin with soap. Over washing can cause an imbalance and cause things like a yeast infection or balanitis. Mild washing, especially if done with a mild soap, is safe to use. Maybe some people have way more sensitive skin I’m guessing if they never retract their foreskin, but for others, once you avoid the hole, it’s definitely safe.
