Hygiene means keeping ourselves clean to stop nasty germs from spreading and making us ill. This includes washing our hands, brushing our teeth, and having a bath or shower.

💡 Fun Facts

  • You should always wash your hands after going to the toilet and before eating.
  • There are more germs on a kitchen sponge than on a toilet seat!
  • Brushing your teeth for two minutes gets rid of tiny bits of food and sugar that can cause holes called cavities.
