One in 29 French people don't take a shower even once a WEEK - while 13% do not wash their hands after using the toilet
One in 29 people in France only take a shower once a week, according to a new survey.
The study into French washing habits also found that one in five do not shower every day.
On the other end of the scale, 11.5 per cent of French men and women shower several times daily.
Hand washing, too, is ‘not always a priority for the French,’ said pollster BVA, which was commissioned to carry out the survey by hygiene product company Tork. One eighth of those questioned said they didn’t bother washing their hands after going to the toilet and 45 per cent admitted they didn’t scrub up after being on public transport even though 54% thought buses and trains were ‘the dirtiest objects in daily life.’
More than one in five said they didn’t wash their hands before sitting down for a meal.
The bath is in decline with only 18 per cent of French people who take one once a week and 61% who say they do not bathe frequently.
The French are more aware of hygiene when they are cooking - 86.6 per cent say they always wash their hands before preparing food.
Young people are also less concerned about cleaning toilets than their elders: from 18 to 34 years, 18.9 per cent cleaned the toilet every day, against 44.9 per cent for those aged 50 to 64 years and 58.7 per cent of those over 65.

I’ll be movin to Montana soon...
A gallon of 35% peroxide is only $60, that’s enough to make 10 gallons of home strength.
(Of course BATF would put you under a microscope for buying 35%, but that’s another story)...
lololol
I’ve bought that 35% HP (a little) in the past; but it’s too hard to keep it away from husband grabbing it up and using it like 3%. It can burn like mischief if you get it mixed up with the 3%.
