Personal Hygiene

Understand the importance of personal cleanliness

Keeping Clean

Personal hygiene means keeping our body clean and healthy. We wash our hands with soap and water before eating and after using the toilet. We bath or shower every day to wash away dirt and germs.

Example

How to Wash Your Hands

Step 1: Wet your hands with clean water. Step 2: Put soap on your hands. Step 3: Rub your hands together for 20 seconds — between your fingers too! Step 4: Rinse with water. Step 5: Dry with a clean towel.

Note

Remember

Brush your teeth twice a day — in the morning and before bed. Clean teeth keep your smile bright and stop germs that cause toothache.
