How to clean yourself if there is no power: 6 simple hacks

When summer is in full swing, with it comes the heat, which exhausts not only the body but also the mind. It's not always possible to take a shower, especially when you're camping or when there's a power outage.

However, there are many ways to feel fresh and clean even without access to water. Simple tools at hand can help. Bloggers also recommend stocking up on travel devices.

1. Dry shampoo:

This wonderful invention is a lifesaver in situations where there is no way to wash your hair. Just apply it to the roots of your hair, massage it in, and then comb it out. Dry shampoo will help you get rid of oily shine, dirt and unpleasant odor.

2. Wet wipes:

Wet wipes can always help you out. They are suitable for cleansing the face, hands, body, and some can even be used for makeup removal. Choose alcohol-free wipes to avoid irritating your skin.

3. Garden sprayer (with a hand pump):

If you have a garden sprayer, you can use it for an impromptu shower. Preferably, this device should be new, fresh from the store. Rinse it when you have water, fill it with clean water, and place it in the sun to warm up and use it when needed.

4. Travel shower:

This is a compact device that is easy to fold and carry. It works by using a pump that delivers water from a container to your body.

5. Homemade shower:

If you don't have a garden sprayer or a travel shower, you can make a homemade shower out of a plastic bottle. Hang it from a sturdy support upside down. Drill several small holes in the bottle cap, fill it with water and wait for the water to heat up. You can cover the holes in the cap with tape or duct tape.

6. Wet towels:

Another great way to freshen up, these can be used to cleanse your body, face, and hands. Store wet towels in the refrigerator to keep them even more refreshing.
