Wikipedia 
- Hygiene is the act of being clean. Washing the body to remove dirt and germs, brushing the teeth to keep them clean, shaving, using the toilet properly, and dressing correctly are some examples. Proper hygiene is often taught to children at a young age, and it becomes a habit. If one does not have good hygiene, they might smell bad, lose teeth, or become ill (sick).
