It would seem that public hygiene protocol is not something easily forgotten since it is a standard taught since kindergarten, underscored in middle school, and essential to get your college diploma. Yet there are times, more often than we’d like to admit, that we may know the "do’s" and "don’ts" of social proprieties, but choose not to embrace them.

Stay classy and clean with these simple tips on how to display good hygiene when out in public.

Cover your mouth

This one is a no-brainer, but deserves to be first on the list. Hearing you sneeze or cough is one thing; feeling either of these is entirely another. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and keep your hands clean by using your upper arm as a shield.

One tissue does not conquer all

Feeling under the weather? Looking and feeling your best can be difficult when your sinuses and lungs are working against you. You can do your best to show you care about public hygiene by following the rules of thumb such as washing your hands regularly, using hand sanitizer, and pulling out clean tissues every time you need to use them in public.

Watch for bad habits

Bad habits like biting your nails, playing with your hair or touching your face can work against the image you’re trying to project. These habits are also a way that unwanted grime, oils, and bacteria can spread from different areas on your body and eventually onto objects you touch. Do yourself (and others) a favor by keeping your hands away from the top half of your body whenever possible.

Launder

Laundry is an arduous (and thankless) task, but there are few public hygiene no-no’s worse than dirty clothes. Designate one day of the week as laundry day and stick to it. Invest in a dependable iron and ironing board, and carry a stain remover in your purse or briefcase.

Use FLASR

For smokeless tobacco users, a small, spill-proof spittoon is a necessity and the ultimate display of good public hygiene. Fortunately, for these individuals, there’s FLASR, an Atlanta-based company that specialize in exactly that. The FLASR spittoon has a chic design that is pocket-size and features a secure locking mechanism to avoid messy mishaps.

1. Wash your hands every time you come indoors.

If you use public transport, chances are that you have come into contact with surfaces that were touched by several other people. Make sure that you wash your hands with soap.

2. Wash your socks.

This is important not only for your personal health but it is also in general public interest. As you move around, your socks accumulate a lot of dust and bacteria.

3. Don't rub your eyes.

Rubbing your eyes with contaminated hands can transfer a lot of germs into them and cause eye infections.

4. Use a hand sanitiser.

For times when you can't wash your hands, carry a hand sanitising lotion with you. This becomes particularly important when you have to eat out in the middle of the day.

5. Carry tissues when commuting.

Tissues are better than cloth handkerchiefs as the latter accumulate germs on them, leading to infections. Therefore, carrying wet tissues is a better idea as they are disposable.

6. Avoid touching your hair.

The hair is one of the most exposed areas of the body. Avoid touching your hair to prevent transferring those germs on to your hands.

7. Use a deodorant.

Most people travelling by public transport stink, but that's no reason for you to join the club. A deodorant will also allow you to reduce the chance of bacteria breeding on your skin.

8. Treat skin infections in time.

Skin infections, if ignored, tend to aggravate and spread all over the body.

9. Clean your hands after playing with pets.

While playing with pets and strays is nice, they carry germs. Make sure to wash your hands before you sit down to eat your meal.

10. Get immunised.

In big cites with lots of people, you don't know what surface carries what infection. Get yourself immunised against some common infections such as tetanus.

These basic hygiene tips will ensure that you stay safe from the common ailments that affect people in a city.
