Fighting Household Bacteria – Part Two

Fighting Household Bacteria Part Two

• If germs and bacteria are running rife in your
  home, then it could be time to tackle them and
  protect your health. This is especially important
  if there are vulnerable individuals in your
  household, such as very young children or the
  elderly. While some bacteria can present a very
  real threat to your health, its important to
  realise that the issue is easily tackled and need
  not cost you the earth, either. Here are some
  simple and cost-effective ways of fighting
  household bacteria
• Let your toothbrush dry thoroughly between uses
• Did you know that each time the toilet is flushed
  and the lid isnt down, a plume of dirty water is
  sent sometimes as high as 15 feet into the air,
  and whatever is left out in the vicinity can
  attract and retain that soiled, germ laden fluid.

• If your toothbrush is kept next to the sink and
  close to the toilet, then theres every chance
  that its becoming soaked with bacteria every
  single time the toilet is flushed. One simple
  solution is to store your toothbrush in a
  cupboard where its not exposed to the toilet
  debris but can still dry out thoroughly.
• Sanitize your cell phone
• You may not realise just how dirty your hands
  are, but if you were to perform a swab test on
  the touch screen of your cell phone, youd be
  shocked to find out how many harmful germs are
  lurking there.

• Even if youre a hand washer, theres no way that
  you would wash your hands before every time you
  use your phone, especially not when you consider
  that the average person touches their phone up to
  50 times a day. To prevent too many germs from
  accumulating on your phone, wipe it with a moist
  (but not wet) disinfected cloth, sponge or
  specially designed
• sanitizing cloth at least every couple of days.
• Dont neglect your television remote controller
• In much the same way that your mobile phone can
  gather germs, so can your television remote
  control.

• Clean your remote at least once a week to
  eliminate harmful germs and be sure to get in
  between all the buttons, too use a Q-tip dipped
  in a cleaning solution to do this effectively.
• Steam clean your wooden floors
• While hardwood floors are less prone to
  attracting germs and bacteria than rugs or
  carpets, they can still get grubby and hold on to
  potentially harmful microbes. For instance, if
  you walk into your home wearing shoes that youve
  worn outside, then whatever you might have
  stepped in outside, can easily be transferred to
  your floors, not to mention the dirt from pet
  paws and other grime. For this reason, its a
  good idea to sanitize wooden floors with a steam
  cleaner, at least once a month to prevent
  anything untoward from breeding on them.

• Wash rugs and carpets at least twice a year
• Carpets and rugs can attract and retain more
  harmful bacteria than your toilet, surprisingly,
  and while you dont eat your meals off your
  floors, its still a good idea to keep then
  hygienically clean by cleaning them either at
  home, or professionally, at least once every six
  months.
• Eliminating all household bacteria can be tough
  and time consuming, but if you hire a cleaner to
  help you, the hard work will be greatly reduced
  and youll feel far more protected from germs
  while enjoying time in your home.
