Why is Keeping Clean Important?
Keeping clean helps us avoid harmful germs that can make us sick. It also makes us look better, smell better and feel better. If you don't look clean or smell nice, people will not want to be around you.
Wash!
You need to have a bath once a day. You should wash your hair once or twice a week, too. You may need to wash it more often if it is oily.
It is important to wash after exercising or sweating and after spending time at the beach or around animals. Wash all parts of your body. Don't forget your toes! And make sure to dry yourself thoroughly.
Washing your hands is extra important because you are touching things all the time and germs can easily spread from you hands to other things and people. Washing your hands will stop you and other people from getting sick.
When should you wash your hands?
⭐ when they look dirty
⭐ after touching animals
⭐ before touching food
⭐ after blowing your nose
⭐ after going to the toilet
⭐ after touching blood, wee or vomit
Brushing your teeth
Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brush when you get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night. It is also good to brush after you eat sugary foods. Sugar rots your teeth. Some people like to brush after every meal.
Don't forget your clothes!
Wear clean socks and underwear every day. This is because some parts of your body are dirtier than others. Other clothes can be worn again if they are not dirty and don't smell. However, you may want to wash clothes if you have been sitting in places that may carry a lot of germs, such as public buses or trains.
Clean Up!
Keep your room tidy and organized. Put things away so you can easily clean around them. Help your family to do the housework. Do your part!
