Everyone wants to know: how do you take a shower in space? How do you brush your teeth?
Well my friends, I must admit keeping clean in space is not easy! There is no shower with running
water. Water does not ‘flow’ here, it ‘floats’ - which makes it a challenging act to clean yourself
There are wet towels, wet wipes and dry towels that are used. Now brushing your teeth in space is
another joy. You cannot rinse your mouth and spit after brushing, so you end up rinsing and
swallowing. Astronauts call it the ‘fresh mint effect’.

Being weightless has some wonderful advantages. You can lift a really heavy object with one
hand and move it around with one finger. You can fly and float around instead of walking. You can
do somersaults at any age. Everything is effortless. If you want to move forward, you slightly touch
a wall with one finger and you start moving in the opposite direction. If you have left your book at
the other side of the module, no problem - you ask someone close to it to send it to you. That means
they pick it up and very gently push it towards you, and here it is - your book flying to you all the
way from the other side.
