- A quick PTA sponge bath or wipe down is still better than nothing at all. Genital safe wipes after you use the bathroom will do wonders if showering is difficult.
- Mouthwash is better than nothing brushing your teeth at all. Keep a pack of toothbrush heads (like for reusable toothbrushes) next to your bed, so if you need. a quick clean you don’t have to go far.
- Wipes are better than nothing washing your hands and work great if there’s no hand washing facilities nearby.
- Keeping your hair in a bonnet can prevent mats and tangles if you can’t brush your hair (or if you’re like me and your hair insists on becoming one entity after a nap)
And wear a mask in public.

To learn more about kitchen hygiene specifically, we got in touch with Sylvia Anderson, Director and Food Hygiene and Health & Safety Consultant at Sylvia A Consultancy. She was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and reveal some of the most underrated kitchen hygiene tips.
"Swap out dishcloths/sponges daily as they can harbor more bacteria than a toilet seat," the expert shared. "Clean your fridge weekly, wipe shelves and store raw meat at the bottom. Avoid cross-contamination, and use separate (ideally color-coded) chopping boards. Wash reusable shopping bags as they collect bacteria fast."

I once had a bad phase in my life (depression etc.) and I ate a lot of c**p. I realized during this time, that I began to stink a lot even shortly after showering, wearing all clean clothes, using deo and barely moving. Eating clean took that away immediatly.
When it comes to why cleanliness is so crucial in the kitchen, Sylvia says, "Bacteria like Campylobacter, Salmonella and E. coli are invisible but dangerous. Good hygiene protects health, cuts waste and keeps food fresher. [And] a clean kitchen is a safer, calmer place to cook."

So if you're not sure if your kitchen is up to code, Sylvia shared a few hygiene tips to adopt. "Wash hands before and after handling food. Wipe surfaces daily with hot soapy water or antibacterial spray. Separate and label food, keep raw apart from ready-to-eat." She also recommends writing expiration dates on your leftovers (2 days after they've been prepared).
Finally, the expert added that food hygiene isn’t just for chefs. "Everyone has a kitchen and prepares and cooks at home, it’s self-care. When in doubt, clean it!"

Same for your clothes as well, especially towels. If they have that mildewy smell, that means you need to run them through a vinegar cycle. And no, the vinegar smell does not stay.
The little grey flies you see in your bathroom are drain flies. It means you have stagnant debris and waste in your sinks and tubs. They are effectively harmless, but you might want to use some drain cleaner and snake out your pipes.
