Do List

1. Keep nail clippers and nail files for strictly personal use

2. Good days for paring nails are: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. For children below the age of 13 it is better to pare nails on Wednesdays. Morning hours are recommended

3. Before starting, you must soak your fingers and toes in water for few minutes and wipe these dry

4. There are two activities: clipping and filing. First you do the clipping and then the filing. The procedure is given below:

Firstly clip nails on the right hand starting from the right thumb and ending with the small finger. Thereafter, use the nail file to smooth the end and edges of the nails starting from thumb finger and ending with the small finger. Now shift to the left hand and do the same way

When it comes to toe nail the sequence is changed. Firstly you clip toe nails on the right foot starting from the little toe and ending with the big toe known as Hallux. Thereafter, use the nail file to smooth the end and edges of the toe nails starting from little toe and ending with the big toe. Now shift to the left foot and do the same way

5. After paring nails, use a disinfectant to wash your fingers and the toes thoroughly and wipe these dry

6. The cut nails from fingers and toes should be preferably disposed by burying these in the sand. If this is not possible use water in the wash basin to flush these out
