Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla shared a video from the International Space Station explaining astronauts' hygiene routine in microgravity. Without showers, they use a compact kit with a washcloth pre-loaded with disinfectant shampoo, which becomes saturated after adding water. Used towels are placed in a designated area where moisture is reclaimed by the station's water recycling system, highlighting the importance of water conservation in space. The video also shows floating objects due to zero gravity, drawing public interest.
