Toilet hygiene, Shower hygiene, Nail hygiene, Teeth hygiene, Sickness hygiene, Hands hygiene
Wash your hands after you use the restroom. Scrub with soap for 20 to 30 seconds, and be sure to clean between your fingers, on the back of your hands, and under your nails. Rinse with warm water, and dry with a clean towel.
Toilet hygiene.
Personal preference may dictate how often you wish to bath, but if possible, everybody should have a shower or a bath every day.
However, there may be times when this is not possible, for example, when there is a shortage of water. If this happens, a swim or a wash all over the body with a wet sponge or cloth will do.
Shower hygiene
Trim your nails regularly to keep them short and clean. Brush under them with a nail brush or washcloth to rinse away buildup, dirt, and germs. Tidying your nails helps you prevent spreading germs into your mouth and other body openings. You should also avoid biting your nails.
Nail hygiene
Good dental hygiene is about more than just pearly white teeth. Caring for your teeth and gums is a smart way to prevent gum diseases and cavities. Brush at least twice a day for 2 minutes. Aim to brush after you wake up and before bed. If you can, brush after every meal, too. Floss between your teeth daily, and ask your dentist about using an antibacterial mouthwash.
Teeth hygiene
If you’re not feeling well, you should take steps to keep from spreading germs to
others. This includes covering your mouth and nose when sneezing, wiping down shared surfaces with an antibacterial wipe, and not sharing any utensils or electronics. Also, immediately throw away any soiled
tissues.
Sickness hygiene
Germs and viruses on
your hands can easily enter your body through your mouth, nose, eyes, or ears. Hands should be washed with clean water and soap
