Method:
Preparation:
Cleanliness requires a bath daily and a change to clean
underclothing. Use a preparation to prevent body odor. Shave
daily. Give teeth and hair proper care every day. Be sure to
keep fingernails short and clean. Use cosmetics in
moderation. Refrain from heavy scents. If working in a
health care facility, it is suggested that minimal or no
jewelry be worn to work.
Hand
washing: In order to control cross-infection in health care
facilities, hands should be washed after performing duties
around a patient area, before continuing on to another area,
before and after eating and before and after going to the
bathroom.
Proper Hand
washing: Massage the cleaning agent, preferably and
antiseptic hand cleaner, around the fingers, the knuckles and
hands. Scrub nails with a brush. Keep hands at a level lower
than the elbows when washing to prevent dirty water from
running up the arms. Wash vigorously for 15 seconds. Tap
water should be running during the process. Dry with paper
towel and properly dispose of towel in waste basket. Apply
lotion to hands at the end of the shift.
Keep in mind
that personal hygiene is important no matter what job is being
done. Not only to prevent the growth of bacteria and other
organisms on the skin, but as a courtesy to co-workers and
patients, students, customers and everybody you might
encounter during the work day. And don’t forget to clean your
janitorial equipment as you would clean yourself.
