How to clean nails properly

I have always scrubbed my hands and nail on a regular basis. I really do not think keeping nails clean will in any way make them weak. Clean well kept nail always look good.

I've never scrubbed my nails before

I've always looked after my nails so they are clean, healthy, natural and shiny.

simple soap and water is the best way to clean them :)

My nails are always clean. But ever since I was young I have always had long nails even as a child. I use Shellac but I was never one to bite my nails. I don't do anything special and find that they simply stay clean with my general showering and hand washing.

I think the best way to keep them clean is to use the brush from Kmart for $4 whcih you use with soap and warm water.

My nails are already weak, I think this would just make it so much worse...

Nails are nails I keep them clean by washing my hands whenever I see them dirty, As for this I'm not going full overboard with that I'll keep doing what I've always did.

I just pick any dirt or grime out with my other fingernails if I spot anything stuck :-P I'm pretty low maintenance haha

I use a wooden cuticle stick to clean under my nails.

thanks BH, will try this as I always find my nails can get quite dirty~

I never use a brush. But do keep my nails short.

i just keep mine short and easier to clean, saving on nail polish too

I don't think I've ever thought that hard about them!

Instead of giving my nails a break from nail polish (I ALWAYS have to have some colour), I use the Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Nail Polishes every few weeks instead. Ever since I was introduced to them in a Trial Team, I haven't stopped using them. They definitely strengthen and improve the condition of my nails, so it's equivalent to a 'break' anyway. Best polishes ever. So grateful I happened to get an invite to that trial. One of my favourite discoveries this year.Their matching top coat is my holy grail too. I'm an anything-argan-oil girl :)

I don't think I have used a nail brush before.

When your nails are short they're easy to clean

always keep them short and blunt after years working in hospitals but now I'm a SAHM I need them short dealing with little ones all day. I have this odd thing that I cannot put anything under my nails like an orange stick, it gives me the shivers just thinking of digging under them!

Normal showering and washing seems to do the trick for me but my nails aren't very long.

I keep mine short and very clean! Having worked in hospitality and health for many years hygiene is essential.

Keeping them short helps. But rarely when I grow them, than showering daily takes all dirt away somehow

If my nails look a bit dirty i use a nail brush. At the moment they look a bit rough so I'll need to givevthem some tlc

I always use a nail brush.

I keep my nails short which helps with this issue and I hate it when they look unclean!

I keep my nails quite short so they hardly get dirt underneath them.
