The "Five Clean Practices" are part of the WHO-recommended strategies to prevent neonatal tetanus , especially during home or non-institutional deliveries. These practices are focused on ensuring cleanliness during delivery and cord care, which are the primary sources of Clostridium tetani infection in newborns. The Five Clean Practices include: Clean surface for delivery Clean hands of the birth attendant Clean cord-cutting instrument (e.g., new or sterilized blade) Clean cord tie Clean cord care (e.g., avoiding the application of unclean substances) Additional practices include: Clean water : For washing hands, the perineal area, and cleaning the newborn. Clean towel : To dry and wrap the baby immediately after birth (reduces risk of hypothermia and infection). Reference: Park's Textbook of Preventive Medicine, 27th Edition, Page 261
