I should scrub all surfaces of my hand, including my wrist, the back of my hand, between my fingers, and under my nails for at least twenty seconds. The combination of a scrub and antibacterial soap helps kill germs. Then I rinse my hands with warm water, drying them well with a clean towel, paper towel or dryer. If I don't have soap, I use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Another factor in preventing poor personal hygiene is preventing dental diseases and infections. I brush my teeth at least twice a day vertically or in a circle...... middle of paper ...... bank in our baskets or dirty laundry baskets. I always use a different basket for my clean laundry.

I also use a cup of bleach in my white clothes. When my laundry is done, I dry, fold, and put my clothes away so they stay clean the next time I decide to wear them.
