Being hygienic is everyone’s responsibility to prevent themselves and others around them from getting affected. Staying around unhygienic people will be unpleasant and act as people repellent.
A user asked the forum, “What’s a hygiene tip or trick that everyone should know?”
Here are the common responses.
BELLY BUTTON
“Clean your belly button.”
BRUSHING YOUR TEETH TWO TIMES A DAY
“Most people don’t know this. You can brush your teeth in the morning and at night.”
EARRINGS
“Clean your earrings often. They can get a pretty rank.”
WASH YOUR FEET
“Wash your feet in the shower. Letting the water run over them isn’t enough.”
TONGUE
“Brush your tongue. Yeah, it stinks, and for the love of god, use deodorant.”
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
“Drink plenty of water. It will help improve your skin, dental, and overall health.”
HAND SANITIZE YOUR ARMPITS
“If you can’t face a shower, hand sanitize your armpits, let them dry, and apply deodorant.
The alcohol in the hand sanitizer will kill the bad bacteria responsible for the smell, rather than just the deodorant masking it.”
USE LOTION
“Men, use lotion! Bill Burr has a funny bit about this, but it’s true. I use Nivea men’s body cream every few days and every day during the winter.
It will keep your skin supple and stop that horrible winter itch from dry skin.”
HANDWASHING
“One essential hygiene tip that everyone should know is proper hand washing. Washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water is a highly effective way to prevent the spread of germs and infections.
Here’s a quick guide:
Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold).
Apply soap and lather your hands by rubbing them together. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. You can sing “Happy Birthday” twice to estimate the time.
Rinse your hands well under running water, ensuring all soap is washed away.
Dry your hands with a clean towel or air dry them. Avoid using a shared towel if possible.
Remember to wash your hands:
Before eating or handling food, after using the restroom, after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose, after touching surfaces in public places, after handling pets or their waste, and whenever your hands appear dirty.
Proper handwashing is a simple yet powerful practice that can help prevent illness and maintain personal hygiene.”
CLEAN UNDER YOUR NAILS
“Cleaning under your nails is a must for everyone, and nail brushes are cheap and easy to use.”
CLEAN YOUR INVISALIGN
“If you have Invisalign, clean them using denture cleaning tablets! Way more efficient than brushing with a toothbrush.”
SANITIZE YOUR PHONE
“Sanitize your phone with rubbing alcohol and wash your pillowcases regularly to prevent breakouts. Try not to touch your face throughout the day.”
CLIP YOUR NOSE HAIR
“After shaving your face, also clip your nose hair.”
CLEAN YOUR GLASSES
“Clean your glasses. Properly clean them, don’t just wipe the lenses.
The number of people I see each day with face cheese smeared over their frames, turning green, and collecting all manner of dust, hair, and makeup is disgusting.
Have someone take them apart, scrape/scrub them, and put them back together if you have to.”
USING LAUNDRY SANITIZER
“I feel like not many people know this product even exists, or maybe I just didn’t, but using laundry sanitizer on my bedsheets and towels makes a huge difference in how clean they (and I) feel!”
