How do you properly clean your nails?
Wash your hands with soap and water, paying special attention to scrubbing the underside of your nails with a nail brush or the rough part of a bar of soap to remove dirt and debris; make sure to clean any nail grooming tools before use as well.
For most clothes, you should wash them in cold water as it is just as effective as hot water, is gentler on fabrics, prevents shrinkage and fading, and saves energy by using less hot water.
If your clothes are very dirty with grease or heavy stains, hot water may be necessary for better cleaning.
