5 Unique Methods Astronauts Use To Maintain Hygiene In Space

Astronauts use rinseless wipes and no-rinse body wash to stay clean in microgravity. Water droplets would float everywhere otherwise.

No-Gravity Showers?

Astronauts use edible toothpaste or spit into a towel because they can’t rinse and spit like on Earth.

Special Space Toothpaste

Waterless shampoo helps astronauts clean their hair. They massage it in and towel it off—no rinsing needed.

Hair Washing Without Water

Astronauts use suction-based toilets with airflow to manage waste since gravity doesn’t help.

Space-Friendly Toilet System

Special antimicrobial clothes let astronauts wear the same outfit for days without smelling bad.

Sweat-Free Clothing System

Air is recycled, and advanced filters help remove bad odors and bacteria in space.
