Problem statement. Knowledge of folk sanitation and hygiene of life in rural areas were formed for many centuries to protect people’s health, prevention of their illnesses, ensuring their proper life. This knowledge was treated with material culture: agriculture, livestock, arts and crafts, domestic life, construction, interior of buildings, clothing, meals and were transferred from generation to generation, provided rational use of water and land, contributed to harmonious co-operation with plant and animal world.
The purpose of our article is to analyze sanitation and hygiene in the everyday life of the peasants of one village – Selysko in Lviv region (now Pustomyty district), namely: in the mansion, on a planting site and in rural environments.

Today, residents of the village lost in everyday life a significant number of hygienic and sanitary guidelines related to the farmsteads and the private plot, the rural environment, which were inherent from their ancestors. At the end, with a change in lifestyle changed the lives themselves that are directed to the protection of own and public health and cultural accommodation.
