I wash my hands often with soap, but I don’t scrub them and it doesn’t have to be anti-bacterial soap. In fact, I prefer it not to be anti-bacterial, as I believe that they kill the weak germs so the strong ones can live. I also don’t use hand sanitzers. My house is cleaned by a lady every two weeks but I have 3 cats and a child and I work full time so it’s far from clean in between those two weeks! She changes the sheets, I don’t but I will usually shower a second time in the evening (in addition to a morning shower) so the sheets should be reasonably clean. The evening shower is a quick one.
