Try doing a "wudu" washing ritual. Cleanliness is a core aspect of Islamic tradition, as in the Quran it says "For God loves those...who keep themselves pure and clean."

To do "wudu", first set your intention to become clean in body, mind and spirit, and then using pure fresh water proceed to wash:

* your face,

* both arms from the tips of the fingers up to and including the elbows,

* your head, and

* both your feet up to and including the ankles
