Basic Hygiene Practices:

 ·Take your bath daily.

 ·Wash your towels regularly and replace when old.

 ·Brush your teeth every morning and evening. Change your toothbrush every three months, when the bristles wear out, after a mouth infection or flu.

 ·After meals, rinse your mouth with water or an antibacterial mouthwash.

 ·Wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet, before, during and after preparing a meal, before and after eating, before and after caring for a sick person, after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing and after handling animals or waste. Use a hand sanitizer when hand washing devices are not available.

 ·Wash your cloths after wearing them. Make sure you wear clean clothes, socks and underwear each day.
