Author Topic: Survey: Washing and brushing Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 11-29-2005 11:10 AM                        Something I've noticed lately: When you wash your hands, do you apply soap before wetting your hands or after? Similarly, when you brush your teeth, do you wet the brush before you apply toothpaste or after?  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 11-29-2005 11:30 AM                     Strange question! It depends on what type of soap; if it's the liquid stuff, then soap first, if it's a bar of soap, then there's not much point in rubbing it on dry hands, so water first. Toothpaste first.  |  IP: Logged Dieter Depypere Master Film Handler Posts: 343 From: Deutsch-Wagram, Lower Austria, Austria Registered: May 2005 posted 11-29-2005 11:50 AM                     Concerning the soap same is true 4 me, but i wet my toothbrush before applying paste. But why u wanna know?  |  IP: Logged Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 11-29-2005 12:06 PM                        I could care less, but it's something I couldn't help noticing, and wondering if people had a preference.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 11-29-2005 12:14 PM                     Liquid soap before washing. Wet the toothbrush before applying toothpaste. Don't know why.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-29-2005 12:21 PM                        I rinse off the brush to get rid of any "night dust", put the toothpaste on, then give it a very quick run through the water again. I can't explain this but that's what I do. I wet my hands before grabbing the soap too. The only time I don't is if I'm using "hand cleaner" like Gojo or similar, then I wait until after scrubbing to use water.  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-29-2005 01:01 PM                     I'm the same as Mike. I don't know why either, but I'm not really concerned.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-29-2005 01:06 PM                        I don't wet the brush at all. I put on toothpaste and then brush my teeth, then rinse the brush off thoroughly. Works great. I think I've had one cavity in my entire life, and certainly none for the past 15 years. I wet my hands before using soap. I also wet my hair before applying shampoo, because I know you wanna know that as well.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-29-2005 02:30 PM                        Some people just take their teeth out and put them in a glass of Polident.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-29-2005 03:23 PM                        John: How did you know? P.S. I use "Stain Away!  |  IP: Logged Jarryd Beard Expert Film Handler Posts: 229 From: Hellertown, PA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 11-29-2005 04:08 PM                     I always wet my hands first, regardless of liquid or bar soap. Also, I wet the brush, apply paste, and re-wet the paste. (Taking care not to knock the paste off the brush.) My one friend uses hot water in the method I just described for the tooth brush. It drove me nuts when I found this out for the first time. Anybody else do this?  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 11-29-2005 04:44 PM                     What a topic I use watered down soap in pumps for hand cleaning with one less step to get the job done. I used to travel six months a year and got into the habit of pre-wetting my toothbrush with hyrogen peroxide not knowing what was coming out of the water taps in a out of the country hotel room....this was recommended by my dentist and my brush and teeth get a slight bonus in whitening  |  IP: Logged Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 11-29-2005 05:12 PM                        Never heard of hot water on the toothbrush, although a quick dip in some peroxide wouldn't hurt!  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-29-2005 05:13 PM                     Jarryd, I use hot water also. I just find that it works better, especially when rinsing off my toothbrush after I'm done brushing. I think it's because any germs and leftover toothpaste feel the hot water, think to themselves "Shit, this water is HOT!" and leave.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-29-2005 05:19 PM                  quote: John Pytlak ...take their teeth out and put them in a glass...

Gosh Cory, you asking about peoples personal hygiene habits make me wonder if you hang around public restrooms at the airport or the bus station...
