How clean are you?

Well, how clean do you think you are? How often do you shower/brush your teeth/wash your hands/clean your ears/wash your face/do you wear deoderant ect...

[Oscar]

Haha!
Oh I'm totally a freak when it comes to washing hands, I wash 'em like 15 times a day! I brush my teeth everyday in the morning, I would like to brush them at night too, but I'm way too lazy. I do wear deoderant everyday, especially if I'm going out somewhere like school or something. I don't shower every single day, but I try and shower every other day, I would hate showering everyday...

[IdlersDream]

I shower every morning but when I worked I'd often shower when I got home. Or if I had to work the morning the next day, I'd shower that night so my hair could dry then just not wash my hair the next day or it wouldn't be dry in time to leave.

I brush my teeth ATLEAST every morning and before I go to bed but I also often brush a lot inbetween then. I'm obsessed with it and can't stand a bad tasting mouth.

Washing my hands, everytime I go the bathroom I wash my hands, or if I touch something gross. When I worked I had to wash my hands CONSANTLY because I was working with food and lots of raw meat.

I clean my ears with a Q-tip {wow, I'm a rebel} every morning after my shower, again, when I worked I'd usually do it again after I got off of work because they'd get dirty so easily.

And with deoderant, mostly just after my shower but will put more on if needed. :P

I also wash my fash quite often which I think tends to dry it out a bit. :(

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I'm a clean freak, mostly with my hair. I shower every day and wash my hair, even if it is perfectly clean. x_o It can't be good for my hair, but I feel compelled. And I also use bunches and bunches of soap.
And I wash my hands all the time. Usually between class periods, before and after lunch, and whenever my hands feel dirty at home.
Face gets washed and eaten by benzoyl peroxide twice a day. Ah~, the perks of adolescence.

Brush teeth, wear deodorant on an average basis; twice a day with brushing, deodorant in the morning.
However, call me disgusting, but I don't think I've ever cleaned my ears. x_o In fact, I usually forget I have ears until I get water in them. Reading this topic makes me want to bust out the Q-tips, though.

I shower almost everyday with the exception of the weekend. If I'm going out at all I make sure do go through my routine to get ready. There's the odd occasion I might miss a shower if I'm limited on time or simply can't be in the mood to do so. I used to have my showers every night before bed, which felt nicer when going to sleep, but was such a pain when I was tired. I started doing them in the morning before class or going to work and now I feel much better when I leave home in the mornings. I feel really dirty if I don't get to shower at all.

Brushing my teeth I try to do twice a day, though on occasion I might only do it at night if I've been really lazy all day.

My hands I wash a lot. I always have to make the water just below scalding as I don't feel clean unless my hands have had hot water. I'll sit there and wait until the water gets hot too.

Other than myself, I would always keep my room as clean as I could. People always commented how my room was the cleanest they had ever seen. I was pretty proud of that.

[Lindstrom]

Shower everyday, usually either before going out somewhere or after working on something (and of course, deodorant). Brush twice a day and use mouthwash, and I brush after anytime I eat something that really gets stuck in my teeth like chocolate or steak. I'm not super hand wash guy unless I've been somewhere super public or I've been cleaning or using some chemicals. I sometimes wash my hands before going to the bathroom cuz my hands are more than likely not as clean as... yeah.

I keep my house clean usually, if it gets messy it's not a big deal but I keep it organized and clean usually in case I have people over. Clean sheets are pretty nice too, there's something special about going to bed after taking a shower and having fresh out of the dryer sheets.

[~Miitan]

I hate being dirty, but can't shower as often because it makes me physically ill. I get stomach pains (which have lessened to some extent), dizziness (in any water temperature) and have to take pain killers/sleep meds to feel slightly better and be able to sleep. Can't wash hair whilst I shower either, so I have to lean into the bath, which is fairly uncomfortable. Even so, I tend to wash my face/ears and lotion myself everyday.

Teeth I brush every night, no matter how tired and pop in the old retainer. Brushing my tongue can make me gag, which causes me stomach pain, so I refrain from it in the morning, lest be in pain a good portion of the day.

I seem to wash my hands all the time. Even when I just give the cats food... Hm. And like Saffy, make sure the water is pretty hot to wash them. It then becomes a chore because I have to lotion regularly to keep from them getting dry..

My room isn't dirty, but it is messy. I'm a very unorganized person and hate cleaning because it aways seems to get undone by someone (I.e. sister).

Nothing beats fresh off the line D;


Anywho~

Generally I take a shower every night before I go to bed except for Fridays and Saturdays (unless I feel a pressing need to). If I'm too tired to take one at night, I'll wake up early enough to get one in the morning (morning showers are so much nicer, but I can't bring myself to wake up early enough/take quicker showers :'D). I'm a little more lax during summer, though, taking a shower every second day instead. Deodorant always comes after showers, and occasionally again during the day if I feel smelly~

The only time I use soap to wash my face is in the shower, otherwise it'd get too dry. I usually rinse it three times a day - when I wake up, some time during the day, and before I go to sleep. On rare occasions I'll use a face mask to make myself feel pretty? :D (after that dang mask is off, of course :P) Washing hands is always a must after I use the bathroom and after touching something gross.

As for brushing my teeth, I'm fairly content to just brush them after I wake up and before I go to bed, but I'll also brush them in the middle of the day on a random impulse. I've got a retainer I have to wear when I'm sleeping, so I brush that every night as well.

And I also wear fresh, clean clothes everyday with an exception to pants. Sure, I'll wear a different pair of pants the next day, but I'll be re-wearing a couple pairs throughout the week. (I find this usually only applies to jeans, though)

[IdlersDream]

My room is right inbetween clean and mess. I have some things on the floor but my room is the smallest in the house and being the only girl and youngest, it often equals many stuffed animals/knickknacks. Also, lots of old school stuff I need to throw out.

I wash my sheets atleast every two weeks or once a month. I wash all the laundry in my house {due to my mother being sick, it's easier on her} and I also really love it.
For my clothing, if I only wear a shirt or pants for a couple hours and not sweat or get them dirty, then I'll most likely wear them again another day since it saves on washing since most of my clothing needs to be hung up.

Also, my overall house, I do a lot of the cleaning, like dusting/vacuuming, ect, but also with having a large very furry dog, it gets kind of annoying with so much dog hair. :P

[Lindstrom]

Q-tips are weird, I mean it seems so obvious to go and clean your ear, but my brother used to use them after every shower and eventually he must've hit his eardrum or something cuz back in high school, he'd be sitting in class and he'd be bleeding from his ear (this was like, 5 years agoish). A couple months ago he had a surgery to remove bone and skin that had grown in his ear canal and an infection in there too or something. I guess they did a case study on him cuz it's rare or they did a unique procedure.

Anyway once his ears started bleeding I gave up on q-tips.

[Oscar]

Dang, I don't know how y'all can shower everyday! I would die.

[Chicken]

I shower every other day, because if I showered EVERY day, then I'd be sporting an afro, instead of Dolly Parton meets Rockstar kind of thing. My hair, when washed and then air-dried becomes HUGE. I mean, I like big hair, but not frizz-ball, bad Jackson 5 impression hair. But, I'm rambling.

I wash my face every morning, and usually every night, unless I'm EXTREMELY tired. I mouth-wash, brush my teeth, and floss just about every morning. Sometimes, I'll do it at night, too, because I have a bad habit of eating super sugary things. Most people would argue that I should brush them twice a day constantly, but I'm 17 and cavity-free, with no dental concerns besides impacted wisdom teeth, so I'm pretty sure the system is working.

Um, I wash my hands after using the bathroom, and after handling something that's gross/germy. I clean out my ears with Q-tips on a weekly basis (though, they're bad for you.) I TRY to trim my nails, if they don't break off before that. (No use trimming something that's not there, right?) And, um, that's all I can think of.

EDIT: I usually wear fresh clothes everyday, but sometimes you just have an outfit that you HAVE to wear again or you wore it for a half a day, or you're in a situation where you have to re-wear it.

And, I hate messes around the house. My dad is infamous for messing things up more than I can keep them clean, however. It freaks me out. D;

[Charmy]

I wash my hands whenever I remember, same with brushing my teeth. I try to have a shower every 2nd (I'm lazy) day but I sometimes forget, but I always have a shower now when my hair starts getting weird otherwise I'll get in trouble from my parents. I wear socks for a few days, and I usually wear particular clothes to 2-4 days in a row. :D Again, I put on deoderant when I remember..... ....I end up sweating either way..... ....I need better deoderant.

I eat peoples left overs and drink other peoples drinks, even if it's a popper I just drink it through the straw. What do I care? Free drink. Yahoo! I eat some food from the ground.... That is if it looks okay afterwards. D: Yah, I'm kind of dirty. :P

[Peter]

Cleanliness for me is that I must bathe every day. I brush my teeth AT LEAST twice a day, probably three at best. Haha.

[IdlersDream]

Lindstrom, your brother obviously shoved it in his ear too hard. But I hope it doesn't effect him long term.

Chicken, I use Sunsilk stuff for my hair {gah, don't know the name for it but it's stuff to put in your hair after a shower and keeps it from getting frizzy} and for me, it works great. My hair is always super soft and barely any frizz anymore where I used to have a bad problem with that. :(

Charmy, deoderant doesn't stop sweat but the smell you get from sweating. I wouldn't try getting stuff that actually blocks the sweat in because that can be bad for you.

Also, I think girls... Once they hit that point where they're finally 'women', they should shower everyday. If you know what I mean..

[Lindstrom]

Oh I know, he was like "I'll just go a little deeper" and all that. He lost a lot of hearing in that ear for the longest time and I had to be on his left if he wanted to hear anything I'm saying. But after the surgery he's regained almost all of his hearing back. Anyway now he just has a big scar behind his ear.

[Chicken]

I use Pantene leave in conditioner which works pretty good for me, but somehow, my hair gets really huge if it's washed way too much, frizz or not. I hate it. I think I need to layer it a bit. :/

[IdlersDream]

Err... Layering often times will make your hair worse in terms of frizz and curliness. It works different with everyone's hair, obviously, but I find trying to get it one length and a bit styled is the best way to go unless you want to start straightening your hair.

[Chicken]

It works fine for me. My bangs are to my nose now and they just need trimmed up to where they were. My hair becomes...triangular when it's one length. I hate that. >_<
