“I Can Smell These In Someone From Several Feet Away”: 30 Hygiene Habits Everybody Should Follow

If you’re wearing protective/sterile gloves, they don’t continue to be sterile once you’ve touched something gross. The amount of times I’ve seen coworkers handle human specimens with their gloves on, and then touch their face, phone, or hair really shocks me. Same note of people handling raw chicken/meat with gloves and then proceeding to touch every surface imaginable with the gloves on drives me nuts.

Coughing and sneezing should always be inside your vampire cape or the very least covering your mouth so its not spewing out in front of you. I've lost count on how many people in public sneeze or cough without covering their mouth and see the germs being blasted throughout the area.

The fact people had to be told to wash their hands during COVID. Why are you not washing your hands in the first place?

Stay home if you’re coughing and sneezing, and aren’t required to be out. Went to a movie recently with reserved seats with a person behind me coughing non-stop… I could feel the air from his cough moving my hair. Thanks dude… can’t wait to give my grandparents whatever bug this is on Thanksgiving. 

If you can smell your body odour everyone can smell it too.

Clean your dirty, stanky, musty, skid-marking butt holes. Trust me its not gay, you're not going to be emasculated or lose "alpha-ness". Its a body part to be cleaned. Get it together people.

Dudes need to cut and trim their nails. It’s not gay.

Cleaning hairbrushes!

Using clean pillowcases.

Once I realized my acne flare ups were caused by dirty pillowcases, my constant acne problems disappeared

Changing your hand towels (and the towels you use after showering) frequently.

Properly cleaning your feet rather than just letting the soapy water go on them in the shower.

Tonsil stones.

Why is this so far down?? Scrolled forever to find this one. I can smell these in someone from several feet away. The cleaning kits are cheap on amazon.

Not closing the lid on their toilet bowl during flushing. Not aware of the fact that millions of faeces particles are floating around during flushing. Yes, if you don't cover your toothbrush, you do have faeces particles when you brush your tooth with. Yuck…..

Honestly, cleaning your phone screen regularly. It's basically a germ magnet we press to our face daily.

Scrubbing your tongue. It’s key for fresh breath and often forgotten.

Flossing—people act like it's optional, but your dentist can tell when you don’t.

Cleaning your belly button. Yes, it needs attention too.

How you wash your dishes. That sponge you bought 6 months ago is growing all sorts of bacteria.

Cleaning your piercing holes no matter how old they are.

Take your earrings out and scrub bc even non-stretched lobes can get built up and [it's] nasty.

The stagnant water in the washing machine. Please please please run a cycle through with nothing in it but a cup of vinegar. The water in the drum does not drain entirely. The mildewy smell in your towels? Use vinegar. It's a deorderizer as well as bringing the fluffyness back.
