Fighting Household Bacteria – Part One

Fighting Household Bacteria Part One
2

• The reality is that germs are everywhere and are
  impossible to avoid entirely, and they are often
  present in homes. While most of these bacteria
  wont harm you, some can be quite dangerous and
  its these you want to prevent from breeding in
  the sanctity of your home. Here are a few ways in
  which you can fight household bacteria and
  prevent you or any other members of your
  household from becoming sick
• Regularly wash your bath towels
• The minute your bath towel becomes damp, the
  minute it can become a potential breeding ground
  for germs and bacteria.

• Fungi, dead skin cells and secretions from
  various places on our bodies can easily be
  transferred to our towels and begin multiplying,
  so its imperative that towels are dried
  thoroughly after each use and are washed at least
  once a week.
• Regularly wash your bed sheets
• While your bed sheets may not get as damp as your
  bath towel, youd still be surprised (and
  doubtless mildly disgusted!) to know what types
  of germs and harmful pathogens might be lurking
  on the surface, from sweat, sputum and other
  bodily excretions to dead skin cells and more.
  Dust mites are also prevalent in bed linen and
  can aggravate or even cause, allergies and
  asthma. To try and control the bacterial
  community on your bedsheets, you should try to
  wash them at least twice a month.

• Use mattress and pillow allergy protectors
• Recent studies have found that feather and
  synthetic pillows ranging in age from 1 year to
  20, can contain between 4 and 17 different
  species of fungus! The same can probably be said
  for your mattress, but if you purchase waterproof
  allergy protectors for both, you should be able
  to eliminate the threat that such bacteria pose
  to your health.
• Dont neglect your kitchen cleaning sponge or
  cloth
• These items are notorious for being breeding
  grounds for germs, and the longer they remain wet
  and warm, the more the bacteria will be
  encouraged to thrive.

• Some of the bacteria can be harmful to your
  health, including Salmonella, E.Coli and
  Listeria, which can all cause mild to severe gut
  and skin infections.
• Simply rinsing the sponge or cloth after every
  use will not suffice, it should be disinfected
  thoroughly with a strong anti-bacterial solution
  such as diluted bleach.
• There are many more ways in which you can fight
  household bacteria, but if it all seems like too
  much work for you to fit into your busy schedule,
  why not seek help from a professional cleaning
  company who will ensure that your home is
  hygienically clean from top to bottom, and as
  often as you wish?
