To clean nails properly, start by trimming them straight across to avoid ingrown nails. Use a nail brush and soapy water to gently scrub away dirt and debris. Pay special attention to the area under the nails and the cuticles. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. If your nails are stained, apply a lemon juice or baking soda paste and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. For clean and healthy-looking nails, it’s important to follow a regular nail care routine that includes moisturizing and keeping tools sanitized.
