Being clean is a sign of spiritual purity, as in ‘Don’t forget to wash your ears, cleanliness is next to godliness.’ This phrase was first recorded in a sermon by John Wesley in 1778, but the idea is ancient, found in Babylonian and Hebrew religious tracts.
I ensure that a regular cleaning regimen is followed and strictly adhered to at home and the surrounding area. Since I live in an area where there is a lot of greenery and trees, we’ve adopted the neighbourhood. We take care of the trees by keeping them pruned, the grass trimmed and watered.
It is a proven fact that productivity levels are heavily influenced by the cleanliness of the workplace. I spend roughly about 45 to 50 hours training and shooting in a week. If I do not take care of the cleanliness and the hygiene of the shooting range, it will begin to affect my health and I won’t be able to perform to the best of my capability.

We know that hygiene is a key factor in good health. Simple steps like de-cluttering, throwing garbage in waste bins, regular dusting and cleaning at our homes and workplaces make them far healthier places and help avoid many illnesses.
