As we all know, finding the right solutions to maintain our personal hygiene is essential.
If you’re older, or living with an underlying health condition which affects your mobility, you may find it more difficult to manage your personal hygiene – particularly if you’re living alone. However, there is help at hand. At Complete Care Shop, we have compiled a comprehensive, easy to use range of personal care products to help you stay clean, feel good and prevent the spread of potentially harmful bacteria.
Of course, recent events have made us all much more aware that keeping our hands clean is really important to prevent the spread of infection. If you find it difficult to move around easily, it’s worth keeping a bottle of Hand Sanitising Foam within easy reach – maybe in every room. Not only will this disinfect your hands on contact without the need for water, but also the alcohol-free formulation is kind on sensitive skin – ideal if you don’t want to dry out your hands.
Long-handled washing aids are also handy for helping you to stay fresh and clean on a daily basis, whilst reducing the need for you to bend and stretch towards those hard-to-reach areas. This is particularly useful if you’re living with a health condition which makes movement more challenging and can also help reduce the risk of slips and falls.
A healthy sleeping environment is essential too. We spend roughly a third of our lives sleeping, so keeping your bedroom clean is vital for staying safe and well. Investing in a Waterproof Pillow is definitely worth considering, as it’s not only comfortable to sleep on, it’s also easy to wipe down, which will help you to keep germs at bay.
A Waterproof Duvet can be a great personal hygiene solution if you’re living with incontinence, as it’s super easy to clean compared to a regular duvet.
And for when you are sitting at home, there are a number of very effective incontinence products that can help to keep your furniture protected. A chair pad, can increase your comfort when seated, as well as putting your mind at ease that your furniture is protected.
Meanwhile, if you experience regular leaks and are unable to reach the bathroom quickly enough, keeping some packets of Incontinence Wet Wipes in different rooms around your home can be handy.
Using these wipes will help you feel more comfortable when a sink and soap are not readily accessible.
If you are able to get to the bathroom after experiencing a leak, plain soap and water can dry out and irritate sensitive skin, so using a gentle and effective, quick drying cleansing foam to remove any soiling will also moisturise your skin and lessen the risk of cross infection.
If you, or someone you know, could benefit from additional support with personal care, please be sure to shop our full range of personal hygiene and incontinence products so you can stay safe and well at home.
