Ways of Caring for the Materials
Cleaning
Cleaning the materials used to care for our bodies is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of germs. Some of the ways to clean these materials include:

Storing
Proper storage helps keep the materials clean and prevents them from getting damaged. The main ways to store these materials are:
- Keeping them in a dry place: This helps prevent mold and mildew growth.
