I think the right way is, don't. This kind of "mistake" can not really result in any misunderstanding so there is not really any benefit gained from a correction. Correcting serves only to disrupt the flow of the conversation

As a Dutch person, this seems wrong. Only one office building I've ever worked at in my life provided showers for employees, it's quite rare to see. And it would be seen as quite unusual for people to shower when they get to work.
