Actually, I do wash my hands every time I come in the door. Even if all I did was take a walk. I've been doing it for years and years. I'm a big time hand washer.

This is not about being a germaphobe! This is basic hygiene. You wash your hands upon returning home. You change clothes and shower after flying. You change your clothes when you get home. Jenna is right!

If I know I’m not going out again I change right into my pajamas. Doesn’t matter if it’s at noon or 10PM, I’m in ‘em.

It makes me so happy reading these comments about people washing hand when they come home.

When my brother and I were kids, my mom would have us change into our "play clothes" when we got home from school so we wouldn't ruin our school clothes. And I still do this, as soon as I walk in the door change out of my clothes to get into something comfortable.

Yes, I wash my hands every time I enter the house, even if I've just been getting something out of the car... always change clothes after work.

I’m with Jenna on this. I wash my hands when I get home. I wash my hands if I touch on door handles in public places. I shower right away once I get home. Not only do I NOT sit on my bed with my outside clothes, but I also do NOT sit on my sofa until I have taken a shower.

I was my hands every time I walk-in the door and the “plane” clothes go straight into the laundry.

Hoda is insane! Thank gosh for Jenna on this talk

This is a common practice in the Philippines. There are 2 types of clothes depending on usage. Clothes you wear inside the home are called 'pambahay'. Pambahay are typically very comfortable, like what Westerners call loungewear. Clothes for going out or work are 'pang alis'. They're usually maintained better (ironed, dry cleaned, etc).

Always change your clothes and wash your hands after being out. Full stop! Basic cleanliness 😅

I have a friend who brought bedbugs home!! She was told by the professional exterminator that it is possible she could have brought them in from riding in a taxi, Uber or Lyft!! How many people ride in these vehicles all day??? You have no idea how clean anyone is or where they have been. By the way..at the very least you should wash your hands when you get home. You've touched the grocery carts, shopping baskets, door handles, card readers, ATMs, poles in subways and trains and shook hands with others. I'm seriously not a germophobe...I just use my head and try to keep my hands clean.

I've always been a hand washer and so I am 100% with Jenna on this topic. I wash my hand every single time I walk into my home, no matter what I have been doing or what I've touched. I also have indoor & outdoor clothes, also a "habit" that I've been exercising for the last 20+ years. What have we learned from going through the pandemic? My god, many people were sanitizing EVERY. SINGLE. THING. So why go back to old habits when you know how easily and quickly germs spread?? Anyway, good luck out there everyone and do your best 😄

I absolutely agree with Jenna. I always wash my hands and change my clothes after being out. The clothes are definitely going in to the washer if I’m coming home after an air flight travel.

I am a housekeeper so every day I change my clothes. Always wash my hands after entering my home. Shower after all outdoor errands subway ride, grocery store, run, etc. Outdoor clothes must be changes after a shower. Never sits on my couch with your subway clothes and yes, clean my couch, bathroom after guest leaves my home.

Take off your shoes, wash your hands, change your clothes if you r been sitting on shared public surfaces. Use hand sanitizer when you’re out, if you can’t wash your hands right away. I followed these rules & never had Covid.

I am a former nurse, and was taught in nursing school to always change when you get home and never go anywhere in my work clothes. Just think about the antibiotic resistant bacteria in a hospital and care center. You don't want to take that into a grocery store or other public area.

I grew up in poverty we played in the city dump. We were exposed to so many germs because both my parents were alcoholics. They let us go everywhere unsupervised we went to other towns on our bicycles for the day. No one said a thing did we have a great time, of course did we bring home germs more than we know we probably will glow in the dark someday for the things we did And the germs we brought home!! But let me tell you something before you judge we were exposed to everything and I’ve had the flu one time in my life once back in 94 I was 34 years old .. have all my vaccines from childhood. I have had the chickenpox, but so did all three of my brothers and sisters at the same time.. I don’t have the flu every year I don’t get cold every year. I have no allergies to speak of once in a while in the spring I will get hit with hayfever because of all the blooming flowers but not every year I have three pets two dogs, one cat I’m not allergic to any of them. I have no food allergies that I know of I’m 63 and I’m fairly healthy being exposed to germs is not a bad thing especially when you’re young at least for me it hasn’t done horrible things and yes I do wash my hands when I come in but no I’m not worried about it to as long as you take the basic precautions when you come home

I am high risk and severely immunocompromised. I never wear my shoes in my home unless they’ve been cleaned. I wipe down my phone with alcohol prep. I take my clothes off and go straight to the shower. I wash my hands a hundred times a day. I also use hand sanitizer if washing isn’t available. Germs can be deadly for some.

Since COVID has gotten me into the habit of washing my hands, when I come home, I've been doing it now.....

I immediately wash my hands when I walk in the door from grocery shopping.

Is it not basic hygiene to wash your hands regularly, especially after being away from the home?

I take my shoes off and spray the bottoms w/ alcohol and essential oils, wash my hands, take my clothes off and shower! If we have visitors, I mop and thoroughly clean when they leave! I still wipe all my groceries with disinfectant wipes too! We know now, whatever somebody else got, you can get, and I don't want none of it!!! Hoda's crazy! Love you but wash sis!!!

I am Team Jenna especially with small children ! & you can never be too careful these days !

Healthcare worker. 100%. Always have!

I absolutely change when I come home from the movies, or a restaurant or someone else’s house.

I always take a 2nd shower or bath when I get home from my job or from wherever I leave from. I always carry travel size hand sanitizer & cleansing wipes to clean my hands whenever I touch anything in public settings. I take multiple showers & baths & I change my clothing quite often when I have to run multiple errands in my life. I always set out multiple outfits ahead of time before I run my errands. I take off everything, let my professional work clothing and casual / everyday clothing air dry on hangers after I arrive back home. I toss anything I've worn in a day in the "dirty clothes" laundry, even if I don't wear it very long. My purses & wallets are always air dried as well. I wipe down my items in my purse with cleansing wipes including my phone & house keys. My socks, face masks & all undergarments are all washed right after I get home. I always wash my hands when I get home with antibacterial hand soap. I've been doing this personal routine for many, many years long before the pandemic.

I always change when I get home. I wash my hands immediately when I get home from the grocery store after touching that self check out screen I always change out of my clothes before I sit on my bed.

Anytime I've been out n about and come home, 1st thing I do is wash my hands and then get outta those clothes into my comfy lounge wear

I do this. So many germs that you don’t want spread around the house. It’s like people with dogs that let them jump on the furniture after walking outside.

Hand sanitizer is a good fast option! Tiny pocket size, yess! NY doesn't have many public restroom options.

I'm with Jenna. We wash our hands when we get home from everywhere. When I bring my teenage grandson home from school, as soon as we are in the house - Punkin, wash your hands. When my husband comes home from work. He puts his stuff away and washes his hands. And we are not germaphobes.

We (entire family) wash hands as soon as we walk in the door, it just helps avoid spreading germs. If I’ve been at work or somewhere germy , I change right away. Otherwise I always get into clean clothes or pjs before getting into my child’s bed to read stories.

yes not only the germs but the feelings i had that day! the negativity and all

I work in a grocery store and I would change my clothes when I get home because people come in grocery stores sick

Yeah first thing I do when I get home is wash my hands and then changed into comfy clothes. I don’t sit on my sofa until I’m in my home clothes. I even wipe down my sofa with disinfectant anytime after my guests leave.

I definitely change my clothes when I get home. I take a shower and change my clothes every time. I can't feel comfortable doing anything else at home until I do.

Rule number 1 in New York, never touch anything on the subway except yourself. You can balance by widening your stance while standing. All New Yorkers can do it. And yeah, change clothes when you get home if you sat down.

Ummmm where is Hoda from??? I always change out of my clothes when I return home😳Did she really say that she doesn’t wash her hands??? Anytime you touch food, you’re supposed to wash your hands🤦🏽‍♀️Chile….The fact that this conversation is happening after we just went thru 2020 is baffling

I don’t like seeing medical staff in scrubs at the grocery store!

I change when I get home because it represents a change in environment and head space. During COVID, once my work from home day was done, I would change to mark that transition. As for washing hands when you come in…duh!!!

I’m with Jenna

Everybody talking about washing their hands but if you don’t disinfect your phone too it’s all pointless

I agree with jenna

Have a great day NBC... Love you Jenna and thank you 💗

I changed my clothes every time I come home. As soon as I come in the door.

I wash my hands after touching every door knob in my house. Even though I wipe down every door knob with disinfecting wipes regularly.

i do change right away even before COVID-19 came: reason, you don't want the dust, smell or dirt stuck in the dress be transferred all around your house or people in the house

Especially when you have young kids or elderly in your home, certain safeguards go a long way.

I wash my hands every time I come home from any public place. I also change my clothes once I get home from any public place. I have clothes that I only wear inside my home.

I always wore hospital provided scrubs so I changed back into my street clothes before I left work. I did not need to change again when I got home ten minutes later. As an RN I wash my hands all the time but definitely whenever I get home after errands.

First thing I do when I get home is wash my hands👍👍👍...i carry multiple packs of wipes and tissues in my purse...put my lounge clothes on when I get home

After working in the food and beverage industry, I change my clothes because of the smell or food on my clothes.

I have to change my clothes before I sit on the couch; and I take a shower before I go to bed if I’ve been out amongst ppl. Washing my hands is pretty much a go-to

Yes. I change my clothes whenever I've been to a busy public place. "Public ick" aside, my home clothes are just more comfortable so if I am not walking right back out, I am for sure changing into home clothes. I absolutely wash my hands every single time I walk in the door, regardless of where I've been, though. It's just a natural part of the routine--I set my purse and keys down, take my shoes off, hang my coat up, and step into the bathroom to wash my hands. It's not germaphobia, it's basic hygiene that takes less than a minute and has been muscle memory for the last 40 years of my life.

I always change immediately after coming home. There are so many germs out there and I don't want that on my dining chairs, sofa or my bed.

oh no HODA! shower, and change clothes daily before i go make dinner daily!

I can’t believe that woman takes the subway and doesn’t wash her hands when she gets home! She would be shocked at how often I wash my hands

Yes, always, keeps the couch clean. Also take off the shoes! I always wash my hands, sanitize my phone and anything that is brought into the house. I also wear hoodies at theaters so my hair doesn’t touch anything lol Haven’t gotten sick but 1 time in 5 years and that 1 time was when my mom was visiting and she doesn’t take germs seriously and I forgot to wipe down everything she touched lol

I literally wash my hands the moon I get home.. I work in housekeeping

There you go, two years of masks, gloves, social distancing , sanitizers, etc and we've forgotten? It's your thing, do what you want to do.

The cookies on Delta are Biscoff cookies.

This was a great debate without getting crazy.

When I come home I always wash my hands. The clothes thing depends on how long I was out, where I was, etc. if I was on a plane, public transportation or anywhere out for an extended time - 100% changing my clothes. If I was just in my car, running errands then probably wouldn’t bother.

it amazes me that people don't wash their hair after a work out. I can see going home, washing your body and not hair if you need to head back out but, that night you better wash your hair. My nail lady said so many people come in with dirty feet. I know people who go to wax place for a Brazilian after work, that is not ok

The fact you have to ask this shows how gross people are

Hand sanitizer was created for public transportation

I work for an exterminator and I change my clothes when I return home every time. Why? Bedbugs. Their nickname is the hitchhikers. Doctors offices, movie theaters and even someone brushing past you in the store. If they have an infestation in their home the bedbugs can be on their clothing. Also, never throw your outside clothes on your furniture, bed, etc. change in bathroom and put in hamper. Oh and hospitals are notorious for bedbugs. So if you end up in the ER or stayed in hospital, as soon as you get home remove those clothes!! Not only do I work for an exterminator I also, unfortunately, have dealt with two bedbug infestations for family members. It’s a horrible thing to deal with.

I wash my hands the moment I walk into my house!

I do keep hand sanitizer on my purse most of the time.

That's a good to me and my mom.

💯 yes!

I agree with Jenna...simple healthy practices

Physician here. I don’t wash my hands or change my clothes when I come home, not even during the pandemic and I’ve never gotten Covid. I wash my hands before eating, touching my face, touching a patient and after going to bathroom, touching a patient or visibly contaminated surface. The surfaces in your home are contaminated already! I wash my hands over 50 times a day but not when I get home.

If you work with kids and don't change clothes, expect to get sick and be sick all the time. Thank God for the mama who taught me to change right after work.

I'm always touching all areas of my face with my hands so I'm always self-conscious about keeping my hands clean. I'm a super hand-washing freak to the point that I don't even wear rings in my fingers anymore after losing so many of them for removing them due frequent hand washing.

Before the pandemic, i never touch public surfaces with my bare hands. Always paper towels in my pockets. I put my coat over my plane seat, so my hair don't touch the headrest. I was my travel clothes as soon as I returned home in hot water

I love those delta cookies so much my flight attentant gave me a whole sleeve of cookies to take home wow i have 1 everyday love you delta airlines

I like to schedule my return flight im the AM so when I get home I immediately unload my suitcase and rhe outfit I'm wearing into the washing machine, then I take a shower while the clothes are washing, and transfer them into the dryer once I'm done 😊

I have allergies, so changing into clothes that haven’t been outside keeps my sofa and bed pollen free!

i change people wipe things on seats spit on the sidewalk cough into the air 🤢I agree with Jenna

I’m with Jenna. As soon as I get home I change my clothes-this is mainly due for comfort. I used to take the bus to work and sitting on a bus seat, where others sat, absolutely I would change my clothes. There are many dirty and smelly people who ride the bus. I’ve witnessed this every time I’m on a bus. Subways are also disgusting. I try to not even touch anything on there and I wash my hands immediately after getting off. There are tons of germs on the subway poles. Think about how many people have touched them. I simply do not want to catch a cold, flu, or Covid so it completely makes sense to wash your hands after being in public places. Hoda-wash your hands!! If not for yourself, then for the people in your circle so they won’t get sick. I’m not a germ phobic but my hands need to be clean at all times.

Yes! First thing I do after putting my purse and keys away. Change out of my clothes, wash my hands. If i’m really on point I’ll wash my face too.

Jenna is not wrong!

i agree with jenna totally i wash my hands soon as i get home i also have specials outfits for when i go out. people are just nasty

Not germa phobes…it is basic hygiene now. People are not as naive as we used to be. Think how much you are exposed to just from a public bathroom…I wash my hands when I get home and shower before bed every night.

*lest not forget, those who throw out their garbage from a shared space.* I have to open the compact room, which is where the recycling bins are as well! Wash my hands afterwards.

I wash my hands every single time I come in to my house! Even if it’s just to get the mail it’s just automatic. I wash my hands a lot.

I take off my shoes, wash my hands and change my clothes. Wash my hands again. Too much stuff out there that I don’t want to bring into my home.

I wash my hands when I go to the bathroom or doing a dirty project. I don’t care otherwise and I don’t change my clothes, until I’ve worked out and am sweaty. I change when I get home from church. I’m not on enough planes for it to matter. When the flight ends, I go to the bathroom and wash my hands. End of story. I’m not dead or sick, much. No one in my home or life is worse for the ware.

I wash my hands every time I walk into the house. I also take off my shoes. But I don’t change my clothes.

My gorgeous 🥰😍 queen Jenna 💞💞🤩💞🤩💞

I don’t put my head on the back of any public seat

I wash my hands before I leave a place if I can, and after I come home.

Do yourselves a big favor. Thoroughly wash your hands the moment you walk in the door

Hoda rethinking washing your hands Pleasev

I couldn't wait to change my clothes when I got home from work..

The subway is filthy!

I’m with Jenna.
