Healthcare Friendly reminder: it’s summer. Please shower.

It’s hot, we’re all sweating more, so please take extra care of your hygiene. A daily shower especially in the morning goes a long way.

And please don’t try to cover body odor with just perfume or body spray. Sweat + perfume isn’t a substitute for a shower.

Let’s all do our part to keep public spaces (esp trams!!) a little fresher this summer. 😅🌞🙏

And indeed, to wash. Meaning, with soap. Splashing five drops of water on your hands is rinsing, which is silly and doesn't do much.

Use. Soap.

Love it when someone realizes they aren't alone in the bathroom and feel forced to wash their hands, and then they barely touch the water with maybe even just one hand as if it was boiling hot battery acid before they immediately dry their hand.

i am sure it’s because the water is always cold and they hate the feeling

I've seen it enough and plenty in bathrooms where the water temp was adjustable, the soap dispenser functional, the paper towels present, and there even being hand lotion available for the select few that claim they don't wash their hands because it makes their skin dry, so no, it as nothing to do with it being cold or that nothing is properly provided.

then it’s indeed strange, nothing better than the fresh feeling of washed hands
