Personal Hygiene mistakes made each and every day and tips for improvement

Personal Hygiene

Many of us are likely to have a routine when it comes to personal hygiene.

We like to do things a certain way as we do not like to feel ‘inconvenienced’ by something we have no control over.

But what if your personal hygiene habits were being done all wrong?

Would you change the way you cleaned, washed hands or looked after your health at home or in public?

The following list provides, perhaps, some helpful tips to better hygiene..

Wash those hands!

It maybe a pretty obvious one considering we’re in a COVID-19 pandemic. However, washing hands properly can really improve your personal hygiene.

We should wash our hands for the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice (around 20 seconds or more).

Personal Hygiene

Over-bathing does not necessrily improve personal hygiene

The obvious appeal to cleaning yourself often is removing dirt, food or other things that can cause sickness. Keep in mind that over-bathing can lead to infections and irritation.

Washing too much can increase chances of bacteria getting deeper into your skin (in open areas of the body).

Vaccuming

Norovirus can survive on a carpet that hasn’t been cleaned for a month or more – decimating your personal hygiene. Getting carpets cleaned professionally or with a steam cleaner will give you a satisfactory clean to eliminate most bacterias.

Germs can actually be ‘good’ for personal hygiene too!

Maybe hush this around a germaphobe, but not all germs are bad. Research found that in 11,000 children, an overly hygienic environment increases the risk of eczema and asthma. Cleaning is all about balance.

Peeing in a urinal

Men can run the risk of experiencing ‘splashback’ when going to pee in urinals. Look for urinals with effective urinal screens offering strong splashback performance.

For yourself? Improve personal hygiene by getting closer (to the urinal) and aim low!
