Personal hygiene is something that almost every single person does differently. We've all heard things like exfoliating, washing behind your ears, flossing daily, brushing your teeth twice a day, and other advice when it comes to hygiene.

Ultimately, it's important to find a hygiene routine that works for you in all aspects, but that doesn't mean that you can't benefit from a few personal hygiene tips. Some of us might learn something we didn't know about as some of us were raised differently and may not know some things about personal hygiene.

Giving tips like this is a great way to make sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to hygiene. On Reddit, there is a thread where people have added tons of their favorite hygiene tips and we couldn't wait to share it.

There are so many good tips and we're happy to be able to share them with those who may need or want this advice. Some of these tips are good to add to a calendar or to your daily routines.

So if you're looking for some hygiene tips then be sure to check out this post and get your notebook ready. Let's dive into these 35 hygiene tips.

1. Hygiene tips we can't forget.

2. Cross contamination is real.

"In the kitchen: after you touch raw meat, wash your hands before touching anything else period."

3. To the glasses wearers.

"Wash your glasses, in the sink, with warm (not hot!) water and gentle, non-antibacterial soap. Your face secretes oil, and a lot of it gathers in your eyebrows.

It will pool in the cracks between the frame and lenses, gather in noxious scummy boogers on the nosepads, and in the hinges as well. Once it’s built up, no matter how hard you try to clean your lenses, you’ll just smudge them up because of that oil.

The face oil will oxidize and turn bright green, then yellow-ish, then brown. It smells TERRIBLE.

I wash mine about once every two weeks with a drop of dawn dish soap and warm water.

Also, wash your glasses cleaning cloth at least as frequently. They get infused with nasty face oil.

Don’t use fabric softener on the cleaning cloth, as it will make the cloth oily in the dryer and you’ll just be smearing new, fancy oil on your lenses. Hand washing your cloth in the sink works just fine.

4. DO this regularly.

"Wash and change your bed sheets and your pillow cases."

5. Well that's one way to look at it.

6. Don't forget to clean most used jewelry.

"If you wear earrings, take them off and clean frequently."

7. Exfoliating your armpits is the best way to ensure the best clean.

"Deodorant is water resistant. It won't wash off by just splashing water on it.

You need to give it a good scrub with soap to get it all the way off your skin. If you don't get all the old deodorant washed away, the new deodorant you apply won't work.

It has to be fresh deodorant on clean skin."

8. Learn the difference and stop douching.

"The vagina is self-cleaning.

The vulva is NOT self-cleaning."

9. This is a good reminder.

"If you can smell your body odor a little bit other people can smell you a lot stronger..."

10. Putting socks on wet feet is also not a good idea.

"After you wash your feet and in-between your toes, be sure to dry them properly to avoid foot fungus."

11. This is important to remember as it can make you sick.

12. Also just great for overall health as well.

13. Many of us adopted this mindset during the pandemic.

"Wash your hands right away once you get home from somewhere. Then change into clean clothes.

You don’t want to bring nasty stuff from outside to your home. Don’t lay down on your couch or bed without changing!"

14. This is important.

15. Shoes track a lot of germs.

"I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, so forgive me if it’s already been said: make your home a shoes-free environment.

I know some folks are concerned about their foot odor. Others feel that a doormat is sufficient for wiping one’s feet at the entryway.

Keep in mind that if you’ve set foot into a public restroom, you’re basically tracking whatever you stepped on into your home."

16. Your phone has so much bacteria.

"Disinfect your phone regularly. Ideally, daily."

17. They're doing you a favor.

"If someone offers you breath mints, take them without question."

18. This is true.

"If something is worth doing, it's worth halfassing it. Say you're running late and need to be out the door 10 minutes ago, it's still worth giving your teeth a 10 second scrub rather than skipping it."

19. Flossing is essential.

20. The tongue is where many of your bad breath germs hang out.

"Brush your tongue as well as your teeth."

21. Good tip for those of you with prone to tangle hair.

22. Yep and it happens to the best of us.

"Make sure your clothes get completely dry. You'll smell like mildew otherwise."

23. These are more common than you might think.

"If you have bad breath that doesn't go away you may have tonsil stones."

24. This is so true. Pay attention to what you're touching.

25. I really hope that everyone does this.

"Close the toilet seat lid then flush."

26. Great tips for anyone who needs it.

27. This is an area that's commonly missed so be sure not to miss it.

"Wash behind your ears.

It’s not an old wives tale that grandmas scold kids with. There are lots of oil producing sebaceous glands there.

You can get a nasty smell, and you can even get flaky skin or “cheese” build up behind there if you don’t wash with soap."

28. Exfoliating your feet is necessary.

29. This is interesting advice.

30. Especially if you keep false nails or if your nails are just long.

"Keep your nails clean. Tidying your nails helps you prevent spreading germs into your mouth."

31. They trap tons of bacteria.

"Belly buttons need to be cleaned."

32. Tips for those who hate it or forget often.

33. Great advice.

34. Drinking water is great for your skin, digestion, health, and odor.

35. This is the one.

"Sneeze in your elbow, not your hands!"
