Simple Tips For A Germ-Free Home
Monday, June 01, 2015
It doesn’t matter how luxurious or glamorous your home is, if
you ain’t cleaning, it ain’t gleaming! You may think that germs and bacteria are
found most in the toilet and the bin, but these places aren't where you should
be worrying about. If you think about it, these places are always those that we
clean the most, anyway. In fact, transfer of germs and bacteria happen in far
more places than you would like to think - here are our Top Tips for a germ-free
house which will make sure those bugs don't spread.
● Clean Door Handles
Be honest, how many times do you clean your door handles? Whoever is in your house, be they
family, guests or delivery men, most of them will need to open a door at some
point. Nasty germs travel through the air, but also from the pores of the skin.
So every time someone grabs hold of your door handle, they could be passing you
something you hadn't bargained for. A simple, regular clean with an
antibacterial spray will do the trick and help your quest for a germ-free house
- and don't forget to wash your hands regularly, too!
●● Dirty Dishcloths
A dishcloth or kitchen sponge is like heaven for germs and
bacteria. They are moist, warm and have just been in contact with plenty of food
remains - they are teaming with nasty moulds, yeasts and bacteria. A few minutes
in the microwave can blast those bugs away, and always change your sponge with
regularity.
●●● Maintain That Air
Con
We all love using the air conditioning when the summer heat
starts to roll in. But have you had yours checked recently? If not, go take a
look right now. Gross, right? And it isn’t just bad to look at. All that dirt
and dust is filled with little bacteria that can have an effect on little ones,
senior relatives, and anybody with breathing conditions. So make sure you are
getting regular air conditioning
repair for your unit. It will keep the air fresh, and the nasties out.
●●●● Don’t Forget Your
Toothbrush
Be careful where you keep your toothbrush. If yours is sitting
on the sink next to the toilet, you may want to think about moving it. Every
time you flush the loo, there is a distinct possibility that the force of the
flush will fling out germs, bacteria and other nasties straight out of the bowl.
Make sure your toothbrush isn't in the firing line! Even if you can't achieve a
germ-free house, this is one everyone should be aware of.
●●●●● Wash Bed
Sheets
Dead skin. Drool. Bodily fluids. Hair. Dirt. Sweat. It's all on
your lovely new bed sheets that you have prepared for an incredible night’s sleep. Excellent thoughts, huh? No, of
course not. But it is all unavoidable, unfortunately. The only way to make sure
your bed sheets aren't infested with nasties is to wash them often - once a week
should suffice.
●●●●●● Clean Everything - Even The
Kitchen Sink!
An often neglected place where germs and bacteria thrive is the
kitchen sink. You probably wash your sink out, give it a good rinse and leave it
sparkling, but that doesn't mean it's clean. Use disinfectant spray on a regular
basis to lose those germs - otherwise you'll end up spreading bacteria with
every meal.
