To gain some insight on this topic, we reached out to Sally Bloomfield, who is currently Chairman of the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene. To begin with, she shared her top tip: “When it comes to practicing hygiene to prevent spread of infections, you need to understand that hygiene and cleanliness are not the same thing. Even if a surface looks clean, it can still be contaminated with harmful germs to cause an infection. In order to prevent the spread of infection, hands and surfaces need to be cleaned in the right way.”

Yes. I use a daily shower spray inside the drum and on the inside of the door. Works a treat. And try not to leave wet laundry in the machine for too long. You might end up having to wash it all a second time.

“The second thing that people do not understand is that effective hygiene means practicing hygiene at the key times (we call them moments), i.e. when we are doing things that can spread harmful germs,” Bloomfield elaborated. She continued by stating that these moments - targeted hygiene - occur at the most evident times, such as when we handle raw food, use the bathroom, or prepare to eat with our fingers.

30 People Online Point Out Aspects Of Personal Hygiene That Some Are Completely Oblivious To you actually have to SCRUB your FEET.. just standing in soapy water doesn't actually wash off the bacteria between your toes.. if you have stinky feet, this will most likely fix your issue.. I didn't learn this till THIS YEAR, i'm 37, i've always had some stinky feet and never knew that i actually had to bend over and scrub my toes and bottoms of my feet.. i now no longer have stinky feet!! lol so basic but also just never occured to me because i always thought the soapy water i was standing in was enough..

my wife and i were talking about shower habbits to our teen one day and she mentions to "scrub those feet!" and i looked at her and was like, "what do you mean? she's already in soapy water, the feet get cleaned automatically".. her jaw dropped and she was like "oh my, i now know why none of those powders worked on your feet, it's the fact that your actually NOT cleaning them, every time in the shower." and redditors.. she was right.. and man i felt stupid for not knowing such a simple thing.

A friend of mine told me her ex-boyfriend didn’t wash his hands after peeing, and his reasoning was that he didn’t touch his d**k while relieving himself. I told her, sure OK, but he had to touch it to pull it out, unless it was a trained d**k that could unzip pants and find its way out that flap in his tightie-whities all by itself. Like, on command or something. The realization immediately came over her that her ex wasn’t just an a*****e, he was a filthy, germy, unhygienic a*****e. Glad for her that he was her ex.

The third piece of advice that Bloomfield shared with us is that many people believe that dirty areas, like a dirty floor, are where germs are most likely to spread. Individuals frequently believe that keeping their homes clean will keep them safe and clear of germs. This is untrue, since potentially harmful bacteria are always present; the best way to safeguard yourself is to take precautions to avoid coming into contact with them.

She finished with the thought that “Trying to protect yourself by more and more cleaning is not only ineffective, it's very time-consuming, and just increases the amount of cleaning products you have to buy.” So, if your home is crystal clear, that doesn’t mean that there are no germs and you have no chance of getting an infection.

Why is "clean your glasses" in quotes? And why do people no longer understand to properly use punctuation?

44points

Lakota Wolf 1 year ago

It's actually entirely proper grammar and use of punctuation. It's referring to cleaning your glasses as an activity. So when someone says "I'm going to clean my glasses," and then only clean the lenses, this person is trying to indicate that the activity "clean your glasses" should mean you should clean ALL parts of your glasses, not just the lenses. So, "clean your glasses" is in quotes because it is referring to the form of the activity.

The quotation marks are correct: They are setting out a quote, after all, unlike the previous sentence, where the three words are an instruction.

In this case it is correct. It refers to 'clean your glasses' as the quoted instruction and then explains what that means. Although they should have used it - 'clean your glasses' rather than "clean your glasses' as they aren't giving it as a direct quote..

When you wash your hair, focus the shampoo on your scalp. When you rinse the run off will still wash the rest of your hair without over drying the ends. When you condition, then concentrate on the ends and avoid the scalp. Your natural oils are conditioner enough. Don't rely solely on makeup remover wipes. You're just smearing residue around your face. You still need to use a face cleanser and water. Scrub the back of your neck. Back acne is a thing you might not realize you have until the acne gets painful. It's a sign of poor hygiene, although genetics can be a factor, but it's another reason you need to get up off the couch, or whatever seat with a backing, and air out you back. Snot+eyes=pink eye Having hair touching your face can cause zits. Oily, gunky hair will be sure to give you puss bumps.
