Hygiene Kit

This helpful hygiene kit contains a toothbrush and toothpaste, wet wipes and a bar of soap. This covers off your basic toiletries and will allow you to keep clean, fresh and healthy during any situation.

Some emergencies mean you have to evacuate quickly like flash floods, bad storms, fires or earthquakes. Putting together a basic ‘go bag’ for your home and workplace means you are always prepared.

This hygiene kit bundle can be stored in all ‘go bags’ as well as in the car or workplace as a useful back up for all of your basic hygiene needs.
During an emergency, brushing your teeth and bathing should only be done with clean, safe water. Find out from local authorities if tap water is safe to use and if you are unsure, opt in for bottled water instead.

In some circumstances you can use water that is unsafe for drinking to bathe. However sometimes washing in contaminated water can give you some nasty bugs so it pays to steer clear from questionable water sources.

That simple bar of soap can make a big difference to your hygiene practices during an emergency. Hand washing is one of the most important steps we can take to stop the spread of diseases during an emergency and soap is a necessary part.

People frequently touch their faces without noticing and germs enter our bodies through our eyes, nose and mouth. Germs are all around us and become more prevalent during emergencies due to poor hygiene practices.

We must wash our hands in the following circumstances:

• Preparing and eating food
• Using the toilet, cleaning a toilet area or changing diapers
• Before and after caring for a sick person
• After touching animals, rubbish or other waste materials
• After coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose
• Before and after touching a wound or cut.

In a pinch the wet wipes can be used in lieu of water for wiping your hands clean or using after the toilet. A couple of these hygiene kits are a great additional to your emergency survival preparations.
