FluShields Guide of Hygiene Rules in Times of?Corona

Hygiene generally refers to “the condition or practice involving improvement and maintenance of healthy well-being by means of cleanliness and proper body routines such as taking a bath, brushing teeth, changing of clothes, applying body mist, and a lot more.” This sounds very distant and complicated and just means one thing: do what your parents taught you to do as a daily routine — wash, brush your teeth, keep your house clean, etc. In times of Corona hygiene becomes even more important and time-consuming in your daily routine. But it is necessary to protect yourself and others.

Hospital staff and other related medical-inclined professionals are known for having even extra hygiene and self-care routines related to strict protocols since they are engaging with patients all day long. Corona made those routines even more strict and requires clinical staff to wear protective gear all day and everywhere.

One needs to know that everybody is a target and everybody is capable of being infected by bacterias and viruses like COVID-19 — whether you like it or not. 

To ensure general safety against viruses or bacteria proper hygiene should be applied both inside and outside your home or your office. To help you with that, FluShields provides you a set of ways and tips to help you in obtaining your proper hygiene and achieving healthy wellness in your home or office.

In addition, going outside and meeting people makes you much more prone to come across bacteria or viruses like COVID-19. Here are some ways to double your defense and awareness while being active outside.

1. Take Sanitizers Everywhere

If you are a person who wants to immediately sanitize your hands after holding surfaces or before meals when outside, it is best to have travel-friendly anti-viral size hand sanitizers or wet wipes in your bag for immediate use.

As a matter of fact, Flushields offers hand sanitizers and wet wipes in different sizes for every bag, big or small, that is best for you and for any situation possible.

2. Avoid holding on or leaning against posts or other surfaces in buses and trains

Trains and busses are known to be contaminated with all sorts of particles since they are usually packed with people. If not necessary or needed, refrain from touching posts or other areas in trains and busses to avoid transmission of bacteria or viruses or any other unwanted substances that could harm you in any way. If you need to hold on to a post or touch a chair, one solution is to apply sanitizers or alcohols before and afterward you touch anything to ensure a clean surface.

3. Take a hand and face towel with you, if you sweat a lot

If you’re living in a tropical country with hot weather or you exercise heavily a lot, bring towels to wipe off your sweat. The best thing to keep you dry and clean is by using face and hand towels. In addition, you should also use wet wipes to clean your hands and face as an add-on to make sure to stay clean.

4. Use hand gloves in handling objects outside

Corona forces us to take precaution in not only being with people and breathing the same air, being exposed to getting infected by Corona in general, but also in touching anything around it. If you are worried to get contaminated in your office or your home, consider wearing hand gloves to ensure safety from external factors. It may be a bit too much, especially if you are wearing a face mask, too — but to make sure you do everything to protect yourself against Corona, try hand gloves.

Proper hygiene does not only starts with yourself, but it also involves other aspects such as your surroundings and activities:

1. Clean your household every day

Like what was stated earlier, proper hygiene doesn’t only revolve around yourself hence also includes your surrounding orderliness. To clean a household, start by decluttering things that aren’t functional anymore and consume a lot of space only, sweeping and mopping floors, and putting trash immediately outside houses to avoid indoor air contamination.

2. Apply disinfectant on surfaces and most handled objects

Disinfecting will be a big help and a powerful technique that you should consider when cleaning your household. Start applying solutions that contain fewer chemicals to avoid harmful effects and better cleaning. Apply those on doorknobs, gate locks, and other metal or steel-related objects that are commonly handled by people.

3. Place outdoor rugs for shoes sanitizing

The outdoor world as stated a while ago is a place of double contamination and much prone to health risk environments that may affect our lives in a negative way. When you go outside or have some visitors coming to your house, you don’t want outside contaminants entering your houses from your or your visitor’s shoes. In response, place a clean outdoor rug where you and your visitors can wipe their shoes off first before stepping in into your household.

4. Take a bath and wash your hands more often

Taking a bath and washing your hands are the topmost proper hygiene practices that people should engage with. These activities will help you remove all the odor, toxins, dirt, sweat, and oil substances that you’ve collected and gathered throughout your day.

Make sure to use anti-bacterial and cleansing soaps to remove unwanted particles on your body making you clean and ready for the day. Besides cleanliness, taking a bath and washing hands will enable you to feel refreshed after a tiring or stressful day. You did not just wash out physical particles outside your body, but you also cooled down and relaxed your well-being.

5. Apply sanitizers

Alcohol is a good source of hand disinfectant. If you want some disinfectant that is neat and not over liquified, you might want to try using hand sanitizer gels since it remains firm unless you dissolve and spread it around your hands.

6. Do your laundry more often

When clothes aren’t immediately washed, their cloth starts to formulate twice bacteria which causes cloth discoloration and permanent smell attachment. Besides that, used compiled laundry clothes are also like trash bins which may produce unwanted toxins that can be harmful to your health and also for the environment. Start loading your washing machines now with water and detergents and fill them up with your used clothes to prevent any of these things from happening. Viruses can stay on your clothes, but get killed off easily by washing powder and hot water.
